Community Partners

The Center for Community Engagement and Social Research (CCESR) at Central works to build mutually beneficial relationships with various community partners across the City of New Britain and surrounding towns. By collaborating, we are able to gain valuable insight and knowledge, recognize community identified needs, provide resources, and work towards collective goals and initiatives.

Looking to assess community and/or organizational needs? 

→ Central can provide access to expert research faculty and resources!

Recruiting interns or volunteers? 

→ We can connect you with students!

Want to spread the word about an event/program? 

→ We can promote it through our networks!
