American Public Square

American Public Square brings people together to build a stronger, more connected community. We champion the ideals of a civil society—where citizens engage respectfully, collaborate on shared challenges, and pursue their aspirations with purpose.

APS works to educate, connect, and empower our community through:

• In-Person & Virtual Programs: Featuring expert panelists who unpack the complex social, political, and economic challenges shaping our nation.
• Community Events: Building meaningful connections, fostering local relationships, and inspiring civic engagement.
• Civics Education : Empowering the next generation with the skills to navigate today’s fast-changing information landscape and become active, informed citizens.
• A Diverse Member Community: United by a shared commitment to the common good, practicing the values that drive our mission every day.

Based in the Kansas City metropolitan area, American Public Square programs and services primarily serve the Midwest region but are accessible across the nation through livestream and digital offerings. Learn more at americanpublicsquare.org.
