Community Engagement Activity
The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is an active and thoughtful group of dedicated community members tasked with advising the work of the Office of City and Community Engagement. The CAB is organized into four working groups that align with the work of CCE and allow members to focus on an area of interest while serving on the board. Each working group is co-led by a CCE team member and member of the CAB. Among other issues, the CAB discusses and provides input about community engagement, the impact of CCE’s work on local neighborhoods, and the university’s development ideas and initiatives. CAB includes a mix of local residents, staff from nonprofit organizations, and members of Northeastern’s Institutional Master Plan advisory group and Task Force representing Fenway, Mission Hill, Roxbury, and the South End. 2020-2021 marks the 5th year of CAB.

The Community-Engaged Teaching and Research team within the Office of City and Community Engagement at Northeastern, in partnership with the Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning through Research (CATLR) is hosting a series of semester-long learning communities, beginning in Fall 2020, and open to all faculty, staff, and interested community partners.
The Community Partnerships track will explore the ways in which stakeholders of service-learning courses can build and maintain responsible and ethical partnerships. With a focus on building responsible partnerships that acknowledge the context of each different stakeholder, this learning community will help individuals foster transformational community partnerships.

Alternative Weekends are a hybrid service and learning opportunity created during the COVID-19 pandemic to enable Northeastern students to engage with educational opportunity, direct service, community context, and reflection. Each of the 7 trips focused on a critical social issue (housing security, healthcare, food security) impacts communities across the commonwealth and how organizations adapted to evolving needs exacerbated by the pandemic. Planed and facilitated by student Team Leader pairs, each trip engaged 4 to 6 students in the communities of Arlington, Athol, Boston, Peabody, and Truro.
