Abstract: Community-engaged learning (CEL) relies on strong partnerships between individuals and organizations, often involving collaboration with neighborhoods near universities. This chapter provides a practical guide for cultivating partnerships between universities and community organizations for a CEL course. We outline strategies for determining whether to partner, identifying focus areas, sustaining relationships, and navigating the various phases of collaboration.
