Opportunities for Faculty & Staff

At CCESL, we believe in the power of partnerships developed between DU and the community that are forged from mutual trust, respect, and commitment to create positive change.

CCESL provides workshops, grants, events, consultation and other resources supporting faculty and staff who seek to use community-engaged methods in their work. Community-engaged methods support teaching, research/creative work, and service. Community-engaged projects focus on strengths and assets, build power, and rely upon a sharing of resources for mutual benefit.

Training & Community Building

We work with faculty to transform teaching and curriculum while championing hands-on learning in collaboration with community partners. Whether you are new to community engagement or have used engaged methods before, we have professional development opportunities for you.
