The Egan Urban Center is proud to announce that is offering a certificate in Community Engagement with DePaul University’s Continuing and Professional Education. Through this certification, The EUC shares its unique approach to creating sustainable institutional - community partnerships by working in close collaboration with community leaders and residents to design and implement programs and initiatives. This certificate program will provide those working in local communities with valuable skills and insights to help to ensure that their work is sustainable and effective while being responsive and responsible to the local community. Recognizing the real constraints of time, money, and logistics in community development, the course will help service provider and development professionals to efficiently identify and mobilize available community assets and resources, develop and maintain meaningful relationships with community actors, while increasing participants’ awareness of their own position in the communities in which they work and their knowledge of those communities.
