Roger Williams University Community Partnerships Center Seeks Project Applications - March 9, 2016

Does your organization/agency have a project that you’ve always wanted to undertake but currently lack the staff or funding to start the work? The Roger Williams University (RWU) Community Partnerships Center (CPC) may be able to help.
 
The RWU CPC connects teams of faculty and students with local organizations to tackle projects that will benefit the local community and provide RWU students with hands-on, experiential learning.
 
The CPC is now seeking applications from local nonprofit organizations, government agencies and municipalities in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts for projects.
 
To date, the CPC has completed almost 200 projects with local organizations on topics such as market research, facilities design, engineering assessment and design, curriculum creation, business planning, research and writing, graphic design and website creation, public policy and economic impact assessment and many other fields.
 
Spring 2016: A Focus on Education: We are seeking applications in all disciplines; however, we are especially interested in seeking applications with a focus on educational programs and practices. Specific project types might include:
·         Educational Curriculum Development
·         Higher Education Research and Practice

·         Opportunities in Social Work
·         Youth Development and Welfare
·         State/Federal Education Policy
