Mission and Program Overview

Mission

American Public Square is a nonpartisan nonprofit that seeks to change the tone and quality of public discourse. We organize programs that feature expert panelists and audience members with opposing views talking to each other, civilly, about controversial topics. Though these discussions may not always change minds, everyone walks away with a better understanding of the other side, a key step toward respect, compromise, and resolution.

IRS990/Desc0During the fall of 2018, American Public Square produced a series of four programs related to the "Common Good" of the community, which focused on addressing the existential issue of violence in Kansas City through discussions about the core factors that contribute to violent crime. These panel discussions brought lawmakers, community members, clergy, and a network of organizations working to reduce crime together for four major events. We regularly utilize community volunteers to staff our events as well. During 2018, for our general programming, we utilized over 60 volunteers for a total of 180 volunteer hours.

IRS990/MissionDesc0American Public Square is a nonpartisan nonprofit that seeks to change the tone and quality of public discourse. We organize programs that feature expert panelists and audience members with opposing views talking to each other, civilly, about controversial topics. Though these discussions may not always change minds, everyone walks away with a better understanding of the other side, a key step toward respect, compromise, and resolution.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0American Public Square (APS) General Programming covers a wide range of topics that are important to our community. These programs are usually in the form of a moderated panel discussion that brings different perspectives together, utilizing a set of "Civility Tools" to keep the discussions fact-based and civil from all sides. Our general events are always free and open to the public, which is important because we believe access to these events is a critical piece of ensuring the citizens of our community are connected to the rights and resources that can help them actively participate in society. We hold our events at diverse locations throughout the Kansas City area to limit the geographic barriers to participation among all members of the community.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The American Public Square 2018 Student Initiative was designed to educate high school debate students on the role of civil, fact-based discourse in our democracy through a partnership with student Debate KC. We educate through the use of toolkits, lectures and demonstrations, then our team facilitates student-led programs on issues of interest among the student community. Over 200 students from 12 area high schools participated in our 2018 student initiative, which culminated in a student-led metro-area debate attended by over 250 community members at the World War I & Memorial on April 25, 2018.
