The Civility Summit is a stop-them-in-their-tracks event that harnesses the passion of key leaders from your community and turns it into practical change that lasts.

You are desperate to see change in your community, but knowing how to put a dent in such an enormous problem can be paralyzing. You want a solution to that overwhelming (big hairy) problem. At The National Civility Association, we share your urgency and frustration to do something, but we aren't helpless in this fight. And, neither are you. We've taken three decades of experience in psychology, civility, character and leadership training and applied them to a transformative program that brings practical, measurable change to the communities we love.
The program isn't a one-and-done, feel-good event that magically transforms your community. But, hear this: It moves the needle. And, in a climate like ours — that's a win we'll take.
First, we bring high school students, educators, business leaders, and appointed officials together for a stop-them-in-their-tracks, one-day kickoff event.
Then, participants leave with a collective drive for change and a practical plan to achieve it.
Finally, their actions launch ripples of kindness throughout your community that tip the scale in a direction that matters.
The truth is, we don't have to be helpless bystanders.
Lasting change is possible and it's worth giving it all we've got.

Here's the bottomline — It's ludicrous to think one initiative can fix everything. Our approach is far more practical.

BETTER YOU
When we spread intentional kindness, those around us begin to change, too. This is the most natural ripple effect from the event.
BETTER US
With a little more civility, we begin to tip the scale towards a kinder, more selfless community that overflows into our world.
