2025 Civic Commitments Guide - Winthrop Rockefeller Institute

Welcome to our Civic Arkansas 2025 Civic Commitments Guide! This resource includes fun and engaging activities you can participate in throughout the year, inspired by national months and special days. The goal is for Arkansans to become more civically engaged. We would love for you to dedicate yourself to one activity each month and share your participation with us. You can share your involvement with us directly or post on social media using #CivicArkansas.

Please fill out the brief form below if you would like us to send you reminders about new Commitments each month. We’ll send everything you can expect for the month ahead in one email!
