The civic engagement team at HAWA believes that our community has the potential to build power by engaging with one another on the issues that matter to the Hmong community. We do this by talking to our community at their homes, at church, in the market, on the volleyball courts as well as at the tournaments and festivals.

Alongside our engagement efforts, HAWA educates our community on how to use their power through the civic process. We regularly distribute information around the voting process and the candidates who are running for election; we provide free citizenship services which prepare members of our community to earn their citizenship and become active voters; and on Election Day, we provide rides to the polls for our elders.

Civic education citizenship classes are available in Hmong, Chin, and Karen languages.
