Collaborations + Partnerships
Over the years, we have been fortunate to partner with many incredible organizations, and each year we look forward to new collaborations.
Partnerships can look very different depending on the situation. Consider volunteering for one of our events, or perhaps offering your skills, gifts, and talents with us for training or technical assistance.
We welcome sponsorships for specific events, weekly Cohort expenses, or our paid student internships. And funding is a constant need for the Community Impact Fellowships, Neighborhood Conservation and Environmental Stewards, Neighborhood Leadership Training, Legacy Leaders Awards, topic-specific trainings and events, and Breaking Bread.
If you are interested in partnering with us, please contact Director Dina Newman, newmandi@umkc.edu, 816-235-6931.
