Advancing Community Engagement and Equity

Ethical engagement with our community is a core value at the University of Richmond. Our students, faculty, and staff connect with organizations across the region through volunteering, community-based learning and research, summer fellowships, and more.

The Bonner Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) is committed to supporting student engagement, faculty and staff engagement, community relationships, and institutional engagement, and is home to one of the largest Bonner Scholars Programs in the country.

If you spend your entire time at UR at that beautiful campus – and it is beautiful – but you have not engaged with all the wonderful and diverse neighborhoods here in Richmond and the people in them, I think your education is not complete.
