COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT NETWORK INITIATIVE (CENI)
The Community Engagement Network Initiative (CENI) identifies as a hub. We connect and disseminate existing community engagement resources to community engagement operatives across CCTST partner institutions and the Greater Cincinnati community.
Collaboration across all CCTST partner institutions and community partners is an explicit part of CENI’s mission to support the development of relationships between community-engaged workers.
Network with community engagement workers across partner institutions and community organizations to identify and advance opportunities and priorities.
Promote and build awareness of CENI within CCTST core programs, the University of Cincinnati, UC Health, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and community organizations.
Share best practices across member organizations and units
Join CENI!
Faculty and staff involved in community engagement across the education, service, and research spectrum at UC, UC Health, and Cincinnati Children's are invited to become CENI members by completing the Membership Survey. The purpose of the survey is to take an inventory of CE-based programs and research across our partner institutions and those who implement those programs. Based on these responses, we are creating a network of CE-based individuals and groups to:
1) Increase awareness of pipeline programs
2) Increase academic partnerships with community organizations
3) Improve equity
Please take this survey to become a CENI member: CENI Membership Survey
