FCCE Mission: To enhance the knowledge of Florida Citizens by fostering strategic partnerships & providing educational opportunities that encourage increased engagement/ participation in the civic process. Councilman Sohn envisioned a statewide organization focused on providing Florida's Citizens with increased hands-on opportunities to become further educated and engaged in the civic process. Florida Civics Week:
In March 2020 the Florida Center for Civic Engagement began to lay the groundwork to establish the 1st Annual Florida Civics Week. Florida Civics Week is a Statewide Annual Celebration of the Civics Process. Working with governmental partners, the FCCE will lead efforts to declare through resolution/ proclamation an Official Week throughout the State of Florida. Florida Civics Week will take place annually in the month of September during the week of the 17th and will run from Monday- Friday. The week of September 17th was chosen to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17th 1787. This day is also known as “Constitution Day”.
