Resources and Opportunities

Explore community engagement resources and opportunities for faculty and staff, including guiding principles for community engagement, understanding local context and partnerships, accessing policies and guidance, and collaborating on ideas, questions, experiences or goals with key contacts at Brown.

While people at Brown engage with partners across the United States and around the globe and often seek to have national and global impact, we also have a particular responsibility to Providence and Rhode Island.
A network of people is available to support colleagues, partners and students in various aspects of community engagement.
The Community-Engaged Data & Evaluation Collaborative (CEDEC) leverages Brown University’s resources to address data, evaluation and research priorities identified and valued by community organizations, nonprofits and public agencies in Rhode Island.
