Community Projects

There are problems without easy answers that can't be solved by experts alone. That's why we connect community members, organizations, and local governments to help explore different perspectives and work through issues that matter.

Partnership Guide

Each semester we select 4-6 projects to work on with community partners. Community projects allow us to put our learning into practice and provide opportunities to our students. But not every project is the right fit for deliberation. Sometimes problems require education, advocacy, or research instead. Use the following Partnership Guide to get to know us and find out if we’re the right fit for you. In the guide you’ll find information about:

The services we provide
A comprehensive project timeline
The values that guide our work
Our pricing model
The benefits of partnering with us
