Durham and Community Affairs
The Office of Durham and Community Affairs seeks to apply knowledge in service of society through community engagement. By broadening the university’s role as a partner and advocate for economic and community development, the office works to improve quality of life and public education in Durham and to build strong Duke-Durham relations. The office oversees the Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership and the Community Service Center.
Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership
The Duke-Durham Neighborhood Partnership works alongside residents of the 12 neighborhoods closest to campus, advancing community priorities with a focus on affordable homeownership, educational achievement, youth outreach, neighborhood safety, and quality health care.
Community Service Center
The Community Service Center has been integrated into the Duke Office of Civic Engagement. For more information on existing programming, visit the Duke Office of Civic Engagement.
