Citizenship defined...

Citizenship is defined as “The character of an individual viewed as a member of society; behavior in terms of the duties, obligations and functions of a citizen” (Dictionary.com).

Citizens are also endowed with rights, but we emphasize that responsible citizens are those who act upon their obligations to society at a variety of scales from global to local.

Informed and engaged citizens were envisioned at the birth of our nation to ensure its long-term success.
