We are all interconnected in one way or another, and we believe we have an obligation to help ourselves and each other to be our best selves. The Initiative for Civility in Everyday Life (ICEL) offers a variety of different programs and opportunities for us all to excel in this mission. Three frameworks guide what we do: that we all are entitled to the provision and protection of human rights, the essentiality of compassion, and the importance of belonging and mattering – to ourselves, those we live with, and for the communities we create. We look forward to being your partner as we work together to build caring relationships and civic infrastructures as thoughtfully as we would bridges or gardens.
