A Guide to Effective Citizenship through AmeriCorps
This Guide provides tools for integrating active citizenship into the AmeriCorps
experience through interactive educational modules. The modules are based on
four elements essential to active citizenship: knowledge, skills, attitudes,
and action. Each module has two sessions: a content session and an action session.
The content sessions provide activities that help members delve into the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes of effective citizenship. The action sessions guide members
through a service project in the community.
The guide is available in sections or as one
large document in
PDF
format for download. You will need the free
Adobe
Acrobat Reader software to view and print these documents.
