Since 1946, the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC) has strengthened America’s civic life by bringing together leaders, citizens, and organizations committed to the ideals of active citizenship. Born from the civic spirit of WWII and chartered by Congress in 1953, we’ve evolved from hosting naturalization ceremonies and sponsoring The Freedom Train to measuring national civic health and developing programs that meet today’s civic challenges.
For over 75 years, we’ve convened diverse voices—from Presidents Truman and Eisenhower to Justice Ginsburg and Senator McCain—all united by the belief that democracy requires participation. Our work has addressed voter engagement, civil rights, youth empowerment, and the ever-changing nature of citizenship in today’s world.
Today, NCoC continues this legacy through our nationwide network of partners, groundbreaking research, and programs designed to strengthen the civic fabric that holds our democracy together.
Face-to-face conversations spark the connections and collaborations that strengthen our communities. Join leaders from across sectors for NCoC’s signature event, bringing together changemakers dedicated to strengthening civic life in America.
Submit your discussion ideas and suggested speakers by April 30th!
