Join us for the third of four Summer Civics sessions!

Teens and adults are invited to join a series of lively 75-minute dialogs on Civics: essential info we all need to be confident voters and active participants in four levels of government. Co-Moderated by Candice Davenport, Maplewood’s Health Officer, and Susan Haig, CivicStory founding trustee and South Orange Symphony Conductor, the series invites us to learn and think about roles and relationships in our democracy.

Each session will focus on 3 or 4 topics: our elected representatives, legislative bodies, registering and voting, founding documents, key civics concepts, primary elections, major parties and more. Summer Civics is presented by CivicStory and will be held in Maplewood Library’s Community Room.
