Start the conversation.

Shape our shared future.

As we prepare to celebrate 250 years of American independence, join a nationwide effort to listen, learn, and understand what people believe about our country today, and how we can shape the promise of tomorrow.

Join the American Conversation Project

What does America mean to you today, and what do you hope it can become?

How it works:

We train local partners to facilitate small-group conversations.
Conversations are hosted in homes, workplaces, campuses, and community spaces.
Guided prompts support open listening and storytelling.
With permission, conversations are recorded and themes are gathered.
Insights are shared to help illuminate what Americans hope for our future.
