Mission Statement: 

The Kingsborough Center for Civic Engagement promotes democracy by critically examining, describing, and invigorating its institutions, practices, and multicultural roots. The Center’s work is centered around the following foundational elements: democratic thinking, intercultural dialogue, advocacy through laws and institutions, and equitable social and economic conditions.

The Center’s work includes: social interdisciplinary research, culturally restoring & sustaining teaching and learning, public facing programs, non-partisan and bi-partisan partnerships, and political engagement through voting and local, pragmatic coalition building.  

The Center collaborates with other centers at Kingsborough that also work to advance equitable democracy.
