Leadership Development & Community Engagement Programs

Connect with Community Partners

Northwestern is located in a city and region that are incredibly rich in culture, history, and in organizations that work to make Evanston and Chicago just and equitable for all who live here. We value the work of our non-profit community partners and encourage you to connect with them.

We encourage you to make a sustained commitment of two or more quarters with our community partners. We believe that relationships take time to build and change requires listening, learning, and deep partnership. These sustained partnerships benefit both you and our community through growth and change over time.
