Resident input has always been foundational to the community partnership work that comes out of the UNP network. In its early days Irene Fisher, UNP’s founding director, conducted over 200 conversations with west side residents to develop UNP.

In 2023 the opportunity arose to partner with the Climate of Hope (COH). This collaborative effort was made between The Natural History Museum of Utah (NHMU) , HC4Y&F and UNP.

The event was hosted by the U of U Nonprofit Network of Campus Community Leaders in partnership with the Mellon Foundation, the University of Utah School of Public Affairs, and University Neighborhood Partners (UNP).
