Community Engagement Initiatives

“ If leadership is the key, then education is the key to bringing up these leaders.”

- Dr. David Kasali, President & Founder of Congo Initiative

We believe education is the most powerful tool to bring about the transformation of lives and communities. Educational institutions, at their best, not only equip and train students but serve the wider community. Therefore, we support several community engagement initiatives that serve and provide solutions for some of the greatest needs of the wider community. Each initiative is connected to an academic department or research institute at UCBC and students participate through service-learning, research, and internships.
