We are helping to build a global university civic engagement movement. Every voice matters. Let us know that you believe in changing the world by improving the relationship between institutions of higher education and the communities they serve.

The Talloires Network began in Talloires, France when a group of 29 university presidents from 23 countries made the bold decision to challenge the idea of the ivory tower. Your contribution celebrates their vision.

Remember the experience that changed your life forever? For university students, we know that engaging with local communities can be more educational than reading lessons in a text book. Your donation will help to cover the cost of student student supplies (notebooks, markers, posters) for their learning-by-doing experience.

Dismantling the ivory tower is not for the faint of heart. Engaged faculty around the world need your support so that they can connect students with communities to solve pressing problems. Your contribution will help to cover the cost of student transportation from campus to village.

Today 380 universities in 77 countries are working together to strengthen the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education. Your donation will support faculty and students who engage with their local communities to tackle such issues as illiteracy, famine, disease and homelessness.

A donation in this amount will supports endeavors like a University of Ghana graduate student summer internship at Tufts University.
