Ginsberg Center
The Ginsberg Center is a community and civic engagement center with a mission to cultivate and steward equitable partnerships between communities and the University of Michigan in order to advance social change for the public good. Based upon this mission, our vision is for inclusive democracy; thriving, diverse communities; and equity and social justice.
We accomplish our work by:
Supporting students to engage in positive change through social justice education, leadership development, and meaningful civic and community engagement experiences..
Supporting faculty and academic program staff efforts to connect socially just civic and community engagement experiences to coursework, research and programs.
Connecting community organizations with students, faculty, and staff that are invested in positive social change.
