Civics and Service International

Civics and Service International (CSI) is a brand that empowers citizens to build democracy, heal inequity, and serve their community. With headquarters in the United States and Liberia, CSI partners with local organizations to engage both local and international stakeholders in collaborative efforts for lasting solutions. CSI offers a range of programs that prepare Africa's young people to become leaders and change agents in their communities.

One of their flagship initiatives is the LAW+YOU program, a comprehensive civics education program that teaches Liberians of all ages about laws, government structure, justice, and peacebuilding. Through partnerships with the Ministry of Education and the Open Society Initiative for West Africa, CSI has implemented this curriculum in schools, reaching over 10,000 students and training 70 teachers. In addition to school-based programs, CSI also delivers civics education through their LAW+YOU Radio Show, which uses interviews, skits, poems, and other mediums to engage the public.

They also offer the LAW+YOU Community Program, a small group civics training for out-of-school youth and community members. As CSI continues its work in Liberia, they are aware that the need for civics education persists in many fragile communities worldwide. With the support of partners and donors, their ambition is to expand their reach and help more communities recover and empower themselves sustainably, peacefully, and democratically.

To contribute to this important mission, you can make a donation or get in touch with CSI through their website. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and promote civic education for all
