Strong community partnerships are the foundation of meaningful community-engaged courses. In this workshop, you'll learn strategies for identifying and developing reciprocal partnerships with community organizations, to co-create projects that meet real community needs while aligning with your course goals. We'll explore how to build relationships rooted in mutual benefit and trust, navigate partnership agreements and expectations, and address common challenges in university-community collaboration.
