The civic honors call to action
Every individual within the community has a voice to spread the word about the civic honors program. From talking to a neighbor to writing a letter individuals have the power to call attention to issues within the community. If the message of the civic honors program can be spread through individuals within the community the potential to engage the community increases. Every time a active civic honors advocate writes a letter to the media, a politician, or a university it has the potential to not only inform individuals within the community but it sends a bigger message that the community is interested in ideas that have the potential for benefit. Motivating the community around the idea that change is possible and ever individual within the community has the potential to help the community move in the right direction builds a truly empowering sense of community.
The civic honors program needs to have strong advocates within the community that are interested in seeing action. Being able to get the message out is part of starting any movement within the community. Having a positive message that can be spread by anyone within the community is a vibrant part of civic honors. It is more than a message however it is a call to action asking anyone who cares about the community to work to benefit the community. Communicating the message about the potential for benefiting the community can take on many forms but the form that will have the largest potential for benefiting the community is if community advocates become the driving force for creating a civic honors program.
