Community Partnerships and Programs
Community Opportunities: An Overview
The Swearer Center works to structure our community programs to achieve three sets of objectives:
- Community Impact – Realizing significant and sustainable impact requires us to choose specific focuses and bring multiple resources (programs, people, approaches) together around those issues. We seek to ground these efforts in long-term relationships with community and partner organizations.
See Programs for more information. - Student Learning – We seek to provide a sequence of opportunities for students, allowing introductory experiences through more complex roles that help students develop the skills and knowledge we believe is important to being equipped to take action beyond Brown.
See What can I do ?: Students for more information. - Create, Share, and Apply Knowledge – Beyond simply conducting work in the community, we wish to encourage learning and analysis that can be helpful to communities and the field more broadly.
See the Courses and Research section of our site , the Royce Fellowship site , and our Resources section for more information.
Our programs are organized into clusters-- Educational Equity and Community Development, Health, and Human Rights. The Programs section of this website provides students with more information about various hands-on opportunities to address these issues.
