Partnership Areas

Capacity Building

Capacity Building partnerships bring together residents, community organizations and higher education partners to work together in addressing basic needs for west side families in areas such as housing, employment, safety, the environment, language and life skills. While these partnerships focus on meeting the most basic needs of a community, family and individual, they also work to build the capacity of community organizations and systems of higher education who are engaged in actively working with the community to find and create long-lasting and sustainable solutions.

Community Leadership

Community Leadership partnerships support west side residents as they strengthen their leadership and organizing skills, insert their voices into decisionmaking that affects their neighborhoods, and catalyze positive change in their communities. These partnerships address the need for diverse voices in local decision making and are based on the belief that effective problem-solving comes from having many stakeholders and viewpoints around the table. These partnerships offer opportunities for university and community partners to work together on civic engagement and participation.

Community Health & Wellness

University Neighborhood Partners supports many connections and partnerships that address community health and wellness. Some partnerships promote and provide access to healthy lifestyles. Others relate to the needs of people and families who are affected by disabilities. Still others deal directly with issues related to physical, emotional, and mental health and/or substance use. One by one, we connect families and individuals from diverse backgrounds to resources and needed services. More importantly, we support them in overcoming adversity and building their resilience and support systems, increasing their capacity to address their health needs in the future.

Education Pathways

Education Pathways partnerships bring together west side students, parents, educators, policymakers, community organizations, and university partners to develop equitable educational access for west side families. These partnerships open up opportunities for youth and adults, while building the capacity of educational systems to meet the needs of firstgeneration, immigrant, new-arriving, and native-born communities.
