Community Engagement Center
Want to go deeper with a community partner?
The Action Fund supports off-campus community engagement projects proposed and led by students in direct collaboration with a local community-based organization. The projects all have action components, fulfilling unmet needs of Twin Cities’ communities, as well as learning/education components that promote reflection, meaning making, and sharing of lessons learned. Award amounts up to $2,500 are available per project.

Election 2024: Mobilize Mac
Mobilize Mac is the umbrella framing we use for democratic engagement and elections-related work via campuswide collaboration across numerous departments and offices, intended to be an inclusive space where students and the larger community can access relevant, non-partisan information. We recognize that this is an extraordinary presidential election; this is a living page that will be continuously updated with resources, news, and events, and our staff are always happy to chat.
