Apply Now: College Campus Community Response Learning Community

********This application deadline has passed********

The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center, in collaboration with the Center for Policing Equity (CPE), is hosting a virtual learning community focused on college campus community response through public health and student-centered approaches. Recognizing that calls for service on college and university campuses differ from those of the community at large, there exists an opportunity to offer students and faculty a new experience with, and new expectations for public safety systems through college campus community responder programs.  

The learning community will be led by CSG Justice Center policy staff and include opportunities for mutual learning and presentations from various attendees and leaders in the field. Participants will engage in process-oriented planning to significantly enhance their campus’s crisis system as a way to divert students in crisis from jails and emergency rooms. Teams will work through a logic model, with sessions covering key topics such as goal setting, community engagement, resource mapping, stakeholder buy-in, program development, sustainability, and more. Upon completion of the learning community, teams will be equipped with an action plan for creating a community responder program on campus, including an implementation and funding plan.  

The College Campus Community Response Learning Community session dates will be:  

• November 30, 2023 
• January 25, 2024 
• March 21, 2024 
• May 16, 2024 
• July 25, 2024 

All sessions will take place 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET via Zoom web meeting.
