The Maurice A. Ferré Institute for Civic Leadership at FIU is committed to empowering communities through non-partisan civic education and engagement. Through partnerships with Engage Miami, we promote voter registration and mobilization, while our FIU Votes workshop series provides essential resources to help students and community members navigate the electoral process. We also collaborate with Miami-Dade County’s Civic Academy to expand access to civic education and co-produce a Voter Education video series with Miami Dade College, delivering accessible, non-partisan information on voter rights and election procedures. These initiatives equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to actively participate in democracy and drive meaningful change.
