Abstract

Drexel University's Dornsife Center for Neighborhood  Partnerships took its inspiration from the hundred-year-  old tradition of cooperative extension to build a  neighborhood-based hub of programming that is  designed to fulfill ambitious local goals for transformation.  The Center relies on stakeholder planning to coordinate  knowledge and academic resources from across the  university together with nonprofit program partners to  create integrated programming that meets the needs and  interests of neighborhood and institutional participants.  The strength of the model lies in the combination of  participatory planning with a comprehensive institutional  commitment to its success.
