Congratulations to Laura Schlachter, recipient of the National Service and Civic Engagement Research award. This award will fund her dissertation research "Reevaluating the Workplace-Civic Engagement Relationship". She will build on existing research, address gaps in knowledge, and explore innovative ideas and methodological approaches to this developing field. Laura's research will analyze how participatory forms of workplace organizations can be a strategy to increase civic engagement and will be a resource to practitioners and policymakers who are reorganizing work to create economic opportunity in disadvantaged communities. It will contribute to the broader conversation of redesigning civic infrastructure to reinvigorate American democracy.
