Institute for Citizens & Scholars 

Since our founding in 1945 originally as the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship  Foundation, the Institute for Citizens & Scholars has prepared new generations of  American citizenry by opening doors to higher education, supporting visionary thinkers, scholars, and teachers, and creating a thoughtful space for innovation. In 2020, we changed our name to the Institute for Citizens & Scholars and declared an expanded mission to cultivate a critical mass of young people who are civically well-informed, productively engaged for the common good, and committed to democracy.  

WHAT WE DO

The recent presidential election wasn’t just a political milestone—it was a stress test for  American democracy. With economic insecurity on the rise, artificial intelligence  transforming industries, and climate crises accelerating, the forces reshaping our society demand new approaches to leadership. Yet the divisions in our nation—compounded by  deep polarization—threaten our ability to meet these challenges.

What America needs most right now is a new generation of problem-solvers. Gen Z is ready to step up, but they need support to engage effectively in their schools, workplaces, and communities. 

Citizens & Scholars helps young people build the civic skills they need to work across divides on complex issues like climate change, global conflicts, reproductive rights, and economic inequality. 

We focus on three real-world civic skills needed to thrive in today’s polarized America:

• Have Difficult Conversations across divides 

• Access diverse sources of Reliable Information 

• Use Collaborative Problem-Solving to tackle community issues 

How we do it: We build authentic partnerships with leaders in higher education and  workplaces to design programs and tools that can rapidly accelerate the civic  preparedness of millions of young people. We also invest directly in the next generation of  civic leaders, supporting their bold projects to drive change in their communities. 

We work in three areas: higher education, workplaces, and community: 

Higher Education 

Facing growing skepticism from large segments of the public, colleges and universities— viewed by many primarily as pathways temployment—must rise a greater purpose. This broader mission is rooted in the original promise of higher education: foster critical thinking, free inquiry, and the ability to engage constructively with those who see the world differently.  

• College Presidents for Civic Preparedness is a coalition of over 125 campus leaders  from diverse ideologies, backgrounds, and institutions nationwide, all dedicated to preparing students for active civic engagement in a complex and divided country. 

•  The Faculty Institute has helped dozens of interdisciplinary educators nationwide  gain the skills and confidence to redesign or create new courses that promote civil  discourse and become champions of this work on their campuses.  

• The Mellon Fellowships broaden the range of perspectives and understandings  offered on college campuses and create opportunities for crucial new scholarly voices to be heard in disciplines and institutions. 

Community 

We’re equipping young leaders with funding, mentorship, and resources to tackle urgent challenges in their communities. 

• Carnegie Young Leaders for Civic Preparedness recruits 100 corps leaders annually,  who will lead teams of peers in addressing community challenges they have  identified. We equip these leaders with real-world civic skills and dispositions through an immersive yearlong experience as they implement their community  projects.  

• The Youth Civic Solutions Competition invites young adults to present innovative  ideas to boost civic knowledge, engagement, and trust in their communities, with winners receiving $1,000 for their projects and opportunities to connect with civic leaders. 

• The Our Voices Summit empowers emerging youth leaders to present bold, youth driven solutions for local challenges to seasoned civic leaders. The summit amplifies youth voices, positioning them as equal partners and problem-solvers in the civic field. 

Workplaces 

Division doesn’t end at the office. In collaboration with the nation’s largest business  association, we’re piloting a groundbreaking program to train emerging professionals in civic skills that benefit both organizations and democracy.
