NC Civil Community Lab Associate

NC CIVIL Community Lab Associate

NC CIVIL is a Greenville NC nonprofit that provides capacity-building support to local vulnerable communities to address population disparities. Our ONE Carolina Initiative represents a collective impact effort that brings together the power of community activism, academia, area nonprofits, and anchor institutions for a whole-system approach that meets residents where they are and empowers them through shared learning and action to take the lead in shaping their own economic, social, and cultural community environments.

ONE Carolina functions in 3 components. Our CIVILab research component offers a community-based hub for engaged learning & scientific inquiry for community members and practitioners, as well as students and faculty researchers working collaboratively to better understand the disparities affecting our most vulnerable local communities. The project's Strong Neighborhoods component leverages the data and learning derived from the CIVILab to direct outreach and capacity-building support into our area's most vulnerable local communities to empower residents to establish planning councils and take the lead in driving change efforts in their own respective neighborhoods.

Our Community-Centered Partnership Model component engages a wide range of sector leaders and local partners and organizes them into tiered layers of local system support for the project's communities of focus. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
