About Citizens for Engaged Communities

CEC was formed by a group of engaged individuals who are passionate about the work of our partner organization: Educational Society for Malopolska (MTO) and felt that a greater impact can be made by creating a U.S.-based partner organization.  MTO is a Polish organization, based in Nowy Sacz, that promotes a democratic school environment, innovative teaching methods and responsible citizenship. CEC and MTO, working with local organizations across Eastern and Central Europe and Central Asia, conduct workshops and community-building activities that foster increased citizen engagement and sustainable community-building practices.
