For Community Partners
For groups and organizations who want to collaborate with RISD on community-focused work, our Center for Community Partnerships (CCP) connects you with potential partners across RISD—from faculty, students, staff and alumni, to the RISD Museum, the Career Center, RISD Research, Continuing Education and others.
Throughout each year we create opportunities to engage in projects spanning topic and scope. These partnerships include academic studios, public and civic engagement opportunities, K-12 educational programming and event sponsorship.
