Experiential education with social impact and justice at its core.
Community-Engaged Teaching and Research at Northeastern
Our team is housed under Educational Innovation in the Office of the Chancellor at Northeastern University. This offers our team an opportunity to engage with colleagues on and off campus in support of student experiential learning, the university’s community-engagement focus, as well as prioritizing alignment of all of this with community-identified goals.

Service-Learning Courses
Service-Learning (S-L) is a form of experiential learning for students and a teaching tool for faculty that purposefully integrates academics and service or community-engaged projects to meet classroom and community goals throughout the semester. As part of their coursework, students partner with community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations, schools, and government agencies as a way to learn the course material.
Partner with a community-engaged course
Our team supports 150+ community-engaged partnerships each semester, primarily through our community-engaged courses. Any social-change oriented entity can partner with our team, you do not need to be a formal 501(c)3 or school.
