Civic Health is how a community gets together and gets involved to get things done. If we compared it to success for a team, it takes a lot more than a good plan or playbook for a community to succeed. Like good play-callers, towns need good decision-makers. Like a cohesive team, towns need people to build trust and work together. Like a team that practices to prepare for the big game, towns need opportunities for people to get together and get involved to be prepared to take on the big goals that really move things forward.
From lunch presentations to two-hour workshops to mapping a town’s civic assets, Civic Nebraska will work with you to discuss your needs and ideas and come up with a framework to meet the moment in your town.
