Institute for Civil Civic Engagement

Civil discourse in our country, our city and our communities has become increasingly divisive and even hostile, to the detriment of our ability as communities to come together to achieve the public good.  The Institute for Civil Civic Engagement has been formed as a partnership between institutions - San Diego Mesa College, San Diego City College and the University of San Diego College of Arts and Sciences - committed to improving the quality of dialogue and civic engagement in our communities.

Independent Voter Network

The mission of IVN.us is to raise the level of civil discourse to a place where solutions are more persuasive than talking points, and participation is not conditioned on your party affiliation.

The Kettering Foundation is a nonprofit operating foundation rooted in the American tradition of cooperative research. Kettering’s primary research question is, what does it take to make democracy work as it should? Kettering’s research is distinctive because it is conducted from the perspective of citizens and focuses on what people can do collectively to address problems affecting their lives, their communities, and their nation.
