/ˈsiviks/ noun the study of the rights and duties of citizenship.
At City as a School, we expand the notion of civics to describe a set of actions, learned and practiced in community. Youth are not only capable of being active participants in this process, but are essential for helping society fully appreciate and enact modern and future rights and duties.

- Young people aged 14+ are disconnected from the knowledge, mentors, tools and opportunities that would help them engage with solving local and global problems immediately.
- Programs, Schools and Universities lack the capacity internally to build new programs, curricula, content and tech for your learners to engage with these topics. Often internally built programs are one-offs and siloed.
