Description
Campus Compact’s Communities of Practice (CoPs) are professional learning cohorts designed for higher education professionals involved in civic and community engagement. These virtual groups convene participants from across the country to collaboratively explore specific engagement topics, share resources, build relationships, and deepen professional skills. CoPs are structured to be democratic, equity-focused, and inclusive, enabling all participants to both contribute and learn within a supportive, peer-driven environment. The program also supports preparation for community engagement credentials and fosters collective growth through regular, interactive sessions.
