With working for typical NGOs(Non Governmental Organization) in ''90s, Citizens'' Coaliation for Economic Justice(CCEJ) and People''s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy(PSPD), this study has aimed to propose a new way of breaking through a crisis of activism ; which has emerged in typical NGOs in ''90s, faced of critical situation, and inquired a developmental need of post-modern civic activism since 2000.$$a$$aThe reason why the ''90s civic activism on the basis of fairness, transparency, equality are revealed in the activities of CCEJ and PSPD became into the crisis is due to a structural limitation of the NGOs in ''90s. The structural limitation of NGOs in ''90s is the centralized-movement method they have had, it is not valid and proper method because of the political, social change since 2000.$$a$$aIn order to break through the crisis of ''90s civic activism , first, they need to be reconstructed a new movement task on the basis of the post-modern value(ecology, peace, gender, human rights etc) which was based on the established movement performance. Second, ‘90s civic activism organizations need to break through a centralized movement method.
