We are a relationship-driven organization. Our national office is in Boston, MA, with state and regional

Campus Compacts providing place-based support for member institutions located throughout the country.

As the only national higher education association dedicated solely to campus-based civic engagement,

Campus Compact enables campuses to develop students’ citizenship skills and forge effective community

partnerships. Our resources support administrators, faculty, staff, and students as they pursue community-

based teaching, scholarship, and action in the service of public good.

We are a values-driven organization. These core values are stated in our 30th Anniversary Action

Statement and are reflective of our past work and current aspirations:

We empower our students, faculty, staff, and community partners to co-create mutually respectful

partnerships in pursuit of a just, equitable, and sustainable future for communities beyond the campus—

nearby and around the world.

We prepare our students for lives of engaged citizenship, with the motivation and capacity to

deliberate, act, and lead in pursuit of the public good.

We embrace our responsibilities as place based institutions, contributing to the health and strength of

our communities—economically, socially, environmentally, educationally, and politically.

We harness the capacity of our institutions—through research, teaching, partnerships, and institutional

practice—to challenge the prevailing social and economic inequalities that threaten our democratic future.

We foster an environment that consistently affirms the centrality of the public purposes of higher education

by setting high expectations for members of the campus community to contribute to their achievement.
