The Center for Creative Citizenship (formerly the Office of Community Engagement) is part of MICA's longer-term strategic plan to integrate civic learning and action, as well as democratic engagement, throughout the institution.

The Center for Creative Citizenship (CCC) supports the development of partnerships, programs and initiatives that advance the interests of Baltimore’s communities and neighborhoods and contribute to the educational experience of members of the MICA community as culturally aware, critically engaged, and empathetic participants in contemporary society.
