NEN University
NEN University (NENu) is a partnership between the City and County of San Francisco 's Neighborhood Empowerment Network (NEN), San Francisco State University 's Institute for Civic and Community Engagement (ICCE), the University of San Francisco (USF), and the University of California (UCSF) to address critical issues defined by residents living in San Francisco neighborhoods.
ENGAGED LEARNING ZONES (ELZ)
Engaged Learning Zones are multi-year, place-based projects that focus university resources on a specific community in order to increase their leadership capacities.
Our first ELZ in District 11 enjoys strong support from San Francisco Supervisor John Avalos’ office and the Mayor’s Office of Housing/ Community Development. CSL students mapped local resources; interviewed stakeholders to help identify short and long term needs, and then supported the development and implementation of plans that can help build a more vibrant, economically robust, and socially inclusive City.
