The Charlotte Center for the Humanities and Civic Imagination

Our mission is to help people and communities flourish. The Charlotte Center accomplishes its mission by bringing people together to explore human flourishing through the lens of the humanities and civic imagination. We seek to deepen
human connection so we might live our best lives. The more we know about ourselves and each other, the wiser we are in what we do.
