Working in the Community

As a central point of contact and matchmaker for new partnerships the USF Collaborative is charged with bringing together University faculty and students with community service organizations and professionals, youth, and government officials for the purpose of conducting community-engaged research.

Our grant programs provide monetary support for research projects and service-learning classes. Through these programs USF faculty and students develop and apply the knowledge they have to community issues in order to build strong children, families, neighborhoods and communities.

The following lists the areas that we focus on, while providing examples of how USF’s resources are being organized to help communities bring about positive change.
