Active Citizenship

President Bill Clinton challenged Americans to redefine citizenship as "active citizenship." He said that in addition to paying taxes, being informed voters who vote, and following the laws, each citizen needs to leave the community better than he or she found it.

Our activity in class was to brainstorm about ways that we can do just that so that when opportunities approach us, we can improve our community. If everyone makes that commitment, the community and nation will be a better place!
