Community Engagement

D’Youville University demonstrates community engagement through reciprocal and mutually beneficial partnerships that enable community-based education, including practicums and internships.

The university strategically collaborates with its partners to address the needs of the public and to provide engaged learning opportunities to its students. Systematic assessments assure that both partners’ expectations and goals are met.

At D’Youville, we are actively involved in various types of community engagement, including:

• Community Service – Benefit a community or its institutions through volunteer work.
• Civic Engagement – Participate in political or non-political activities that address public concerns, protect public values, and promote quality of life.
• Service Learning – Address community needs and learn about civic responsibility through integrated academic and community service experiences.
• Community-based Participatory Research – Help to advance community-benefitting knowledge by working through teams that equitably include researchers, community members, and others in all aspects of the research process.
• Volunteer Services - Volunteer to support the community and those in need.
