Enhance Your Skills, Build Your Community: A Sneak Peak at ESAL's New Tool for Civic Change

Share this with your network

Engineers and Scientists Acting Locally is launching an on-demand course in April: The Local Civic Engagement Toolkit, designed for engineers and scientists who care about their communities and want clearer, more practical ways to get involved. 

Join us for this special preview to get an inside look at the course and meet some of the local STEM leaders featured.

We’ll share why local civic engagement matters right now and how this course was designed to help people in STEM move from intention to action. You’ll hear about the ideas and principles that shaped the Toolkit and how they can help you act effectively where you live..

This conversation will feature engineers and scientists from the course, who will share their own experiences, from participating in neighborhood associations to collaborating on community-based science projects, and what it was like to translate their knowledge into lessons for others.

During the webinar, you’ll:

  • Get an overview of what the course covers and how it’s structured
  • Hear directly from local STEM leaders featured in the course
  • Learn how the course can support your own civic journey
  • Receive a discount code for course access

This affordably priced offering from ESAL will equip you with the tools you need to jump-start your local civic engagement journey. 

Join us to learn how this course can give you a clearer sense of what is possible and how to meaningfully engage where you live.
