Innovations in Civic Participation
(ICP) is a
registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization
that supports the development of
innovative, high-quality youth civic
engagement policies and programs both in
the
US
and around the world. Founded in 2001 through
a multi-year grant from the Ford
Foundation, ICP grew out of Susan Stroud’s
thirty years of experience in
designing programs and policies and building
networks that affect youth civic
engagement on a large scale.
ICP is a leader in the
global movement to promote
sustainable development and social change through
youth civic engagement. We
embrace a positive view of young people that
recognizes their potential to
create positive and lasting social change in
their communities through active
engagement and service.
What Makes ICP
