Skip to main content

Join Pathways to Friendship for a monthly virtual book club to explore the important ideas explained in the book Everyday Citizenship: Seven Keys to a Life Well Lived by Simon Duffy and Wendy Perez.

Citizenship means living a full, meaningful life. A citizen is someone who is an equal member of their community and is respected for their contributions. It’s not about paperwork or passports. It’s about full inclusion, rights, and dignity.

Join us for any or all* of these discussions leading up to our June 11, 2026 Forum with keynote Simon Duffy.

You do not need the book take part in these discussions! Everyone is welcome – we hope you’ll join us!

*If you join us for all of the discussions, you’ll get discounted entry to the June 11 Forum.
