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.
Events
From fireside chats to faculty-led lunchtime learning sessions, CCESL events provide faculty and staff with opportunities to deepen their community-engaged practice and connect with others at DU, in the community, and beyond.
CCESL provides grants to support projects rooted in mutually beneficial relationships with community partners. Need help finding a partner? Explore our list of partners seeking DU collaborators under 'Connect with a Community Partner'.

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.
