Civic Education Project

An award-winning leadership and citizenship program based at Northwestern University's Center for Talent Development, the Civic Education Project (CEP) combines traditional education and community service to promote civic responsibility among young people.

Through its CivicWeek, Civic Leadership Institute, and CivicAction programs, CEP has been training and inspiring students to become active, engaged citizens for the last 10 years.
