This roundtable explores Indiana University-Bloomington's innovative Community Alignment Initiative, designed to enhance campus-community partnerships through strategic resource alignment. Participants will learn about our approach that consists of a community listening forum followed by a year-long coalition of nonprofit resource providers. We'll discuss strategies for centering community voices, addressing power imbalances, and creating more equitable, impactful partnerships. This session will discuss methods for community needs assessment, strategies for aligning institutional resources with community priorities, and approaches to fostering long-term collaborative relationships between higher education institutions and community organizations. Join us to explore how this model can transform campus-community engagement and drive meaningful social change.
