WORK WITH US
For well over a decade, Engage NJ has been leading the way in building public, cross-sector recognition for the economic value of service and volunteerism to the state of New Jersey. Graduating students with civic skills leads directly to a skilled and thriving workforce for the state – an emerging workforce filled with employees and entrepreneurs who understand how to apply complex thinking and problem-solving to ever-changing situations. This is good for jobs. This is good for democracy.
​
Indeed, with our national partners, we are building “public recognition that, just as civic learning is a core purpose for postsecondary education, it also builds essential workforce skills. Teamwork, communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and engagement across differences are the real-world skills that build both better democracies and creative economies. Investing in democracy learning expands economic opportunity as well.
- From the national Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement (CLDE) Coalition, for which Engage NJ is a partner and signatory.
