About the Institute

The Institute for Civility in Government is a non-profit organization that works to reduce polarization in society. Through its programs and training resources, the Institute facilitates dialogue within the governing process with its Congressional Forums, teaches respect by leading groups of all ages on trips to Washington, D.C. where they engage the political process via participation, and builds civility through our membership, speaking engagements, and civility workshops.
