This summer, the Illinois Civics Hub is partnering with the Civic Education Research Group (CERG) and the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) to sponsor a cohort of Democracy Schools Network members to learn how to facilitate informed and equitable voting in their communities during the 2022 Midterm Elections and beyond.
Participants will attend a Virtual Summer Institute over four days, choosing to participate either from June 27-30, 2022, OR July 11-14. The virtual institutes will meet from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. over the four days. There will be one hour of independent work daily during the workshop.

https://bit.ly/VoteDSNParticipants who successfully complete the course will be expected to take informed action in their community and present during a webinar this fall for the Illinois Democracy Schools Network. Participants who attend the Democracy School Convening on Thursday, September 15, 2022, will also attend a breakout session at the event.
Participants will earn a $1000 stipend for completing all requirements of this cohort.
Spots are limited. Participation in the paid cohort will be based on the diverse regions and disciplinary contents in the DSN.
