The Institute for Citizens & Scholars equips young people with the civic skills necessary to navigate a divided country and become effective leaders. We partner with leaders in higher education, business, and philanthropy to design programs that build Gen Z’s abilities to find and use reliable information, engage in productive conversations, and collaborate across differences to strengthen America. Since our founding in 1945 as the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, the Institute for Citizens & Scholars has prepared new generations of citizens by opening doors to higher education, supporting visionary thinkers, scholars, and teachers, and creating thoughtful innovations in and beyond education. As America approaches its 250th birthday, growing polarization threatens our national unity, democracy, and security. We can’t afford to wait—we must address this divisiveness now. To chart a peaceful path forward, we need a new vision for what it means to be an effective citizen.
