Opportunities for
Community
Partners(5)
There is no community engagement without the community, and there are many ways partners can connect with the Einhorn Center and with Cornell more broadly.
Bring a Cornell student into your work. Student wages are partially or fully subsidized, depending on the program:
Support your work with students with funding from
- An Engaged Opportunity Grant (see webpage for eligibility).
- Student-led grants from the Community Partnership Funding Board.
Expand your knowledge about community-engaged learning.
- Enroll in our self-paced eCornell courses on Community-Engaged Learning.
Community partners that align with Cornell’s mission of public engagement can be: not-for-profit organizations, town/government offices or programs, schools, for-profit organizations with a public mission, museums, civic groups, labor unions, health facilities, neighborhood associations and more.
Community partners collaborate with faculty on research projects, host student volunteers, employ Community Work-Study students or interns, engage through course-based projects and more. Activities might be one-time opportunities, semester-long projects or multi-year collaborations.
What do all of these partnerships have in common?
They include Cornell students and community partners working together. Many also include faculty, staff or alumni.
Community partners are co-educators, sharing their expertise and experience with the university community.
They combine the interests and goals of all involved, so projects are collaborative and mutually beneficial.
