Welcome to the Civic Learning Website
"This is how I can best sum up my Civic Learning experience: an occurance of misfortune transforming into an opportunity to create a lasting relationship." — From a Civic Learning Student
Welcome! This site has been created to help students, faculty, staff and other James Madison University partners gain more information about the Civic Learning Programs available through the JMU Office of Judicial Affairs.
If you are interested in giving back to the JMU community by becoming a mentor or site supervisor, please refer to the About Us Section.
If you are a student who has been sanctioned to a Civic Learning program, you will find information created especially for you in the Students Section.
Finally, if you are currently serving as a mentor or site supervisor and are looking for more information on how to create a unique and rewarding experience for your student, please refer to the Volunteers Section. Please note the Volunteers Section is password protected. If you are a current Civic Learning volunteer and unable to enter this section, please email Taylor Logan.
