Representing Higher Education Statewide and Nationally 
California Campus Compact’s reputation as a national leader in civic engagement and service-learning provides many opportunities to highlight California campuses to both statewide and national audiences. California Campus Compact regularly communicates about higher education’s commitment to public and community service with legislators, corporations, foundations, community-based organizations and media representatives.

Advancing the Civic Engagement Movement While Addressing Institutional Priorities
California Campus Compact works with members in making links between service-learning and civic engagement efforts and larger institutional priorities, such as retention of students, multicultural education, community relations and workforce development. In doing so, we not only advance the civic engagement movement, but also help address other important institutional challenges.

Investing in California Campuses through Grant Funding
Each year, California Campus Compact provides grant funding to our member campuses to support new programming and initiatives, education awards, training and technical assistance and professional development for faculty, staff, administrators, community partners and students.

Collaborating across Sectors 
California Campus Compact is one of only a few state-based membership organizations that intentionally include members from all sectors of higher education. To promote collaboration across sectors, we regularly facilitate convening and networking opportunities and encourage cross-campus networking and collaboration among faculty, staff and campus leaders.

Promoting Faculty and Staff Development 
California Campus Compact provides a variety of professional development and technical assistance services, including on-site consultations, workshops, institutes, publications and our monthly members-only e-newsletter. These services have reached more than 5 million faculty, staff, administrators, students and community partners since 1988.
