We use the word project to denote well-conceived activities pursued over time to provide reciprocal benefits to both academic and community participants. We define community-engaged projects as scholarly, teaching, or community-development activities that involve collaborations between one or more academic institutions and one or more local, regional, national, or international community group(s) and contribute to the public good. ![]() Defining and Validating Community-Engaged Work This statement echoes others in related fields, which offer similar frameworks for valuing and evaluating academic community engagement. As a resource for both faculty and administrators, this statement, we hope, will serve to credit teachers, researchers, and programs appropriately for their contributions to university-community partnerships that are anchored in rigorous scholarship and designed to enhance community capacity. As such, it underscores the worth community-engaged work can have for individual participants, participating campuses, and disciplines associated with CCCC. This statement provides guidelines for understanding, assessing, and valuing the community-engaged work colleagues may undertake across career stages, ranks, and roles. The Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) represents teachers and scholars of writing and speaking whose work in and beyond colleges and universities regularly extends to sites for online learning, professional workplaces, and both near and far-flung communities. ![]() Conference on College Composition and CommunicationĪpril 2016 (replaces the CCCC Position Statement on Faculty Work in Community-Based Settings, November 2014) Preamble
