Citizens4Community (C4C) is a nonpartisan nonprofit that fosters a connected community in and around Sisters, Oregon by encouraging civility, collaboration and civic engagement.
Founded in 2016, we’re working to build a vibrant, resilient rural community where everyone thrives and feels they belong. We design and produce local events and programs that bring folks together, build trust, enable cooperation, cultivate local pride, and help everyone get engaged in the powerful act of community building.
