Civics accelerator or incubator
In my mind, civics is the ways we organize to help our neighbors. Sometimes, that includes running for office, but much more often, it means things innovating on existing laws, starting community organizations, setting up local events; in other words, entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a great thing when you have the resources for it, but all too often, those resources don’t exist. That’s why I think we need an accelerator or incubator for civics just like there are for biotech, agtech, advanced IT and so many other industries. My big challenge right now is that I don’t know enough. I’m a first year college student and simply don’t have the knowledge or expertise to start an accelerator or incubator. If you are able to help me learn anything at all about how to do that, I would love to hear from you.
