Basic civics keeps our Democracy strong, and our communities informed of how our government works, whether it’s voting on the issues, understanding budgets, or applying for public or public-private programs, all citizens should be encouraged to understand the basics of civic life. Too often we find a gap in local civic understanding on how one’s own municipality or county operate, leading to confusion, misinterpretation of responsibility, and can lead to lack of civic engagement. This lack of civic engagement places the sustainability of continuing the basic functions of our municipalities in peril. This Bite-Sized Civics Institute seeks to provide a broad overview of municipal, county, and state-level structures, responsibilities, and budgets while encouraging to take steps in civic engagement at the local level.

Participants will learn:
- The separate responsibilities of municipalities, counties, and the State of Pennsylvania
- How to read and understand budgets and appropriations
- The basics of how well-known public assistance programs work
- The structure of our courts and legislature
- Why voting at the local level is the best way to change your life
