Center for Community Research and Engagement

Established in 1997, the Center for Community Research and Engagement's mission is to develop partnerships that integrate Seton Hall University faculty, students, staff, and our neighboring communities through applied research, active learning, and action projects, aimed at enhancing both the learning environment and community capacity. The program, like many across the country, is facing some financial challenges due to the pandemic. The loss of funding will further disadvantage our neighboring marginalized communities hard hit during COVID-19.

Over the next few months, CCRE hopes to provide student support to public school students struggling to learn remotely with little or no access to technology, to develop a migrant and refugee center for documented and undocumented individuals who have been further marginalized during this pandemic, and partnerships with organizations in Newark, Irvington, East Orange, and other communities needing support for continued provision of vital services. Your donation to the Center will help make these initiatives and others like them viable.
