For Community Organizations


UC Santa Cruz has a range of resources potential partners may find valuable as they work to make their communities more just, vibrant, sustainable, and welcoming.  With faculty expertise across a broad range of issues and processes, a diverse student body seeking practical experience and real-world learning opportunities, and the organizational and networking infrastructure of a major public university, UCSC can be a powerful collaborator in the work of making change.  

Campus + Community takes a critical community-engaged approach to partnerships, which emphasizes collaborating with community organizations or members to co-create knowledge through mutually beneficial activities. This approach is meant to further the needs, goals and aspirations of local communities, and center their voices, ways of knowing, and expertise in every aspect of the project, from inception to dissemination.

If you are interested in partnering with UCSC researchers, students, or staff, check out the resources below.
