“Heartland democracy's mission is to fulfill democracy's promise with diverse communities of empowered individuals. For the programs supported by this grant, our leadership, board, and team pursued this mission with an emphasis on community building, violence prevention, and an airing and discussion of difficult topics around hate, violence, and violent extremism, in our communities and around the world. Our programs are the core of heartland democracy's work. Our programs support participants' connections to school, family and community. We take time to demonstrate the possibilities in order to make clear the power of social and civic capital. Our skilled coaches, teachers and facilitators customize each program according to the needs of each cohort.”

“Kid connect (youth) heartland conducted kid connect youth programs. Kid connect encourages middle and high school students to better articulate identity and values using discussion, literature, community exploration, artistic expression, and humanities-based study. As we think about barriers to success and power structures, we teach students how to build their own paths.”

“We circle (women) the we circle program is our women's program. Heartland partners with immigrant and refugee communities by organizing women who are interested in building stronger, more resilient communities. We work with women who desire a deeper and more effective engagement in the world and support our participants in determining the resources, learning, and the networks they need.”

“Brave conversations (outreach) heartland democracy brings programs, speakers and deep group dialogue to our communities. We present bold topics often spoken around or avoided: deconstructing fear, race and cultural tension, political violence and inflammatory speech, countering hate and acting urgently in our communities. We discover stories of healing, new relationships, and stronger places of diversity.”

“Empowering u (partnerships) empowering u is heartland democracy's legacy program, a deep civic empowerment program with wide application to other important community goals-the development of social, political, and economic capital on the part of people who often desire a strengthening of their community networks. Participants answer questions posed by their coach, moving through discussions of identity, community, and values. The components of our empowering u curriculum are the foundation of each curated curriculum and program we create across cohorts.”
