“On June 10, 2011 the Aspen Institute Communications and SocietyProgram and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation released a
new policy paper that calls on community and elected leaders to adoptsensible strategies to strengthen civic communication and citizenengagement, including the creation of a new Civic Information Corpsthat takes advantage of the considerable capacity and creativity ofAmerica’s young people and digital media.
Civic Engagement and Community Information: Five Strategies to Revive Civic Communication , by Peter Levine, urges federal, state andlocal leaders to adopt five specific strategies that are critical to efforts toreverse the troubling trends away from civic engagement in recentdecades. Levine is the director of CIRCLE: the Center for Information
and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement and researchdirector of the Jonathan Tisch School of Citizenship and Public Serviceat Tufts University.”

“Colleges and universities to make modest shifts in incentives and investments serve as local information hubs.
Because of their physical presence in the community and the information and knowledge work they already do,colleges and universities could make a significant difference in the quantity and quality of civic
communication.
Journalism, library and engineering schools and departments are well situated to partner with local
communities on information-related projects. Other knowledge that is scattered across the institution could be aggregated and shared with the local community.
2011 policy paper recommendations include

Tutor/Mentor Programs are places where adult
volunteers are connecting with k-12 youth.
Programs vary in size, structure, age group served and
type of activities. Until Tutor/Mentor Connection beganbuilding a master database of what programs operatedin Chicago in 1994, no such database existed.

T/MC focuses on non-school hours
While many leaders and billions of dollars focus on schools, T/MC focuses onthe non-school hours, including after 5pm when workplace volunteers aremoving from work to home, and safe places where youth, volunteers and extralearning are available.

Most programs can’t get enough needed resources
on their own. We need the help of many leaders.
Without the database, no city can form a strategy that helps ALL of theexisting programs grow from year to year. Nor can it identify and fill voids in
neighborhoods with no programs.
