Such a joy to spend time with Teresa, Karen, and Vitor in Macau and visit the University of Saint Joseph @usjmacao, while also taking in the beauty and history of the Ruins of Saint Paul’s, a @unesco World Heritage Site and powerful reminder of the deep cultural, historical, and faith rooted intersections that shape this region. Grateful for the opportunity to spend time in conversation about @uniservitate, @Clayssdigital, the Asia & Oceania Regional Hub, and @givepulse, and how we can continue advancing service-learning and community engagement across institutions, regions, and communities. These conversations continue to remind us that scaling this work is not just about systems or programs, but about relationships, shared values, ethical practice, and longterm commitment to communities. Excited for the future collaborations ahead as we explore how to better support institutions, faculty, students, and community partners in serving with greater depth, reciprocity, and impact. Carrying this momentum forward as we head to the Philippines to prepare for the IARSLCE Asia-Pacific Community of Practice @iarslce hosted at University of the Philippines Diliman @Official_UPD, centered on the theme, “Ethics of Service-Learning and Community Engagement.” Grateful for the learning, fellowship, and shared commitment to scaling this work in ways that honor the strengths of each institution and deepen our collective service to communities. #IARSLCEAPCoP2026 #IARSLCE #Uniservitate #CLAYSS #ServiceLearning #CommunityEngagement #Macau #USJMacau #AsiaOceania #ExperientialLearning #HigherEducation #SocialImpact #PublicEngagement #InstitutionalChange #CommunityPartnerships #Volunteerism

Such a joy to be here in Hong Kong visiting our close friends at Hong Kong Polytechnic University-Service-Learning and Leadership Office! We've had wonderful conversations on what it looks like to scale international service-learning globally to be done by students of @hongkongpolyu in partnership with faculty and professors. Great to have also explored the campus a bit, including a visit to their gallery! We're excited for the opportunities ahead and looking forward to exploring further as we all prep for the @IARSLCE APCoP happening in the next few days. Grateful for the fellowship, depth, and generosity brought to these conversations. Looking forward to carrying this momentum with them into the APCoP conference hosted at University of the Philippines Diliman @Official_UPD with the theme, “Ethics of Service-Learning and Community Engagement.” #IARSLCEAPCoP2026 #IARSLCE #CommunityEngagement #ServiceLearning #UPDiliman #InstitutionalChange #Asia #ExperientialLearning #Research #SocialImpact #ChangeMakers #PublicEngagement

Day 2 at #BonnerSLI26 was such a powerful reminder that community engagement is rooted in place, people, history, and relationships. 💙 Such an honor to represent Rutgers Collaborative Center and #bonnerlove at #EPChefsNight hosted by @ElijahsPromise, learning more about the New Brunswick food scene and the incredible reminder that #FoodChangesLives. Today started with “Beyond the Banks,” a beautiful place-based introduction to New Brunswick. We learned its history, culture, community partners, and the people who continue to shape this place. Grateful to Claudio Mir of Rutgers Collaborative Center for guiding us through the story of this beautiful city, for bringing in the joy and culture of The La Sagrada Familia Folk Dance Group, and for creating space to learn from Mary Curran of @RutgersGSE and Mariam Merced of @RWJUH. But honestly, the best part has been the people, reconnecting with so many good friends, colleagues, and partners across the Bonner network, including the Bonner Foundation, @CNBonners, @carson_newman_u, @ProjectPericles, and so many others who continue to lead with heart, purpose, and community. Wrapping up early after more fellowship and tonight’s reception, then heading to Asia this evening for the @IARSLCE Asia-Pacific Community of Practice hosted by the University of the Philippines Diliman. Leaving New Brunswick full of gratitude, inspiration, and lots of #bonnerlove. #ElijahsPromise #CommunityEngagement #CivicEngagement #ServiceLearning #VolunteerEngagement #VolunteerManagement #PlaceBasedLearning #FoodJustice #FoodSecurity #CommunityPartnerships #Rutgers #NewBrunswick @CityofNewBruns

Arrived late last night in New Brunswick and woke up grateful to be back in community with so many friends, partners, students, and leaders at #BonnerSLI26 @cityofnewbruns Already feeling the #bonnerlove after a powerful start to the 2026 Bonner Summer Leadership Institute at @rutgersnb. The morning session, “Senior Leaders on Crisis, Change, and Community Engagement,” was such an important reminder of the moment higher education is navigating right now that includes: financial strain, public trust, enrollment shifts, political headwinds, and rising student needs, and why community engagement has to be connected directly to institutional priorities like student success, belonging, civic trust, partnerships, and sustainability. Grateful to learn from Tiffiny Butler, Sanda Balaban of @ProjectPericles, Carol Geary Schneider of @aacu /CLDE, and Ariane Hoy of the Bonner Foundation, and especially fortunate to spend time with Tiffiny, Brian, Abby, and the Rutgers Collaborative Center team, who help oversee RCommunity powered by GivePulse. Also loved being part of the annual networking and partners fair and reconnecting with so many Bonner campuses, students, staff, and friends, including The Bonner Foundation, Depauw University Bonner Scholars Program, @DePauwU, Centre College Bonner, @CentreC, Montclair State University Bonner Leaders, Montclair State University Community Engagement and Partnerships, Montclair State University NextGen Service Corps, @montclairstateu, Sewanee, @sewaneeOCE, The Carson-Newman Bonner Scholars Program, Carson-Newman Bonner Community Engagement, @carson_newman_u, @RhodesCollege, Rhodes College Bonner Center, UH Hilo Center for Community Engagement, @UHHilo, and so many more. A few early highlights already: constructive dialogue and bridge-building with Nick Longo from Rutgers Democracy Lab and Kuminjot Bal, and a meaningful session, “Volunteering is my Niche,” with Nereida Delgado Garcia from the Garfield Public Library, Jessica Pichardo with Montclair State University NextGen Service Corps and Mariana Luna Martinez on how service, community involvement, and lived experience can help students name their leadership, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and purpose, and translate those experiences into resumes, interviews, graduate school, careers, and lifelong civic pathways. That is what we love about this community: it is not just about service as an activity, but service as a way to build belonging, leadership, purpose, and pathways for students and communities. Excited for the rest of the programming, fellowship, and continued learning with everyone. So fortunate to be part of this community. #BonnerSLI26 #bonnerlove #Bonner #CommunityEngagement #CivicEngagement #ServiceLearning #HigherEd #StudentSuccess #Belonging #CivicLearning #ConstructiveDialogue #PublicService #Volunteerism #PurposeDrivenLeadership

A week in Detroit. A lesson in what leadership looks like. 🏙️ Albion students got to be part of one of the most dynamic stories in American urban revitalization earlier this month when they traveled throughout the city of Detroit with the Ford Institute for Leadership in Public Policy and Service's Sleight Leadership Program. Students spent a week embedded in the city: touring neighborhoods, meeting community changemakers, and exploring the nonprofits, foundations, and businesses shaping Detroit's future. They toured Eastern Market and learned from its President and CEO. They visited Rebel Nell, a social enterprise empowering women. They explored Oakland Avenue Urban Farms, sat down with the team at Life Remodeled, and saw firsthand how organizations like Cass Community Social Services are transforming lives every day. Along the way, students connected with Albion College alumni in the area. Thank you for taking the time to mentor, inspire, and show our Brits what is possible! 🕯️ This is what it means to learn by doing: students immersed in real communities, learning from real leaders, and witnessing firsthand how policy, service, and innovation come together to create change. 💫 #AlbionCollege #SleightLeadership #Detroit #ServiceLearning #LearnByDoing

It was #great connecting with #students at the @LCPSOfficial CTE Fair!🎓Loved sharing how #NEST4US builds real-world skills through #servicelearning, #leadership development & #internship pathways. #Summer #internship apps are still open! #Apply here: nest4us.org/nest4us-impact-i…

The letters came to life! Our 6th graders finally met their pen pals in person for a day of sports, dancing & community building. A powerful reminder of the connections that grow when we learn together! Next up: we head to their community soon! #ServiceLearning #Penpal #LCSGhana

A special moment as our Head of School, Ms. Tait, accepted this honor at the AISA Summit in Victoria Falls. Congratulations to our entire community as she presents it to the students via this video. #LCSGhana #AISA #CommunityEngagement #ServiceLearning #InternationalSchoolsAfrica

What an incredible day partnering with Rise Against Hunger! It all started with Jacob in Grade 7, who led the entire school to pack 20,000 meals for those in need around the world. #lisgpride #RiseAgainstHunger #ServiceLearning #CommunityImpact #GlobalCitizens

After #RUCE2026 @RUengagement, excited to continue the learning in Cape Town with Damaris from @UWConline, who generously introduced us to the communities, organizations, and partnerships she collaborates with. A major highlight was being hosted by @IlithaLabantu in Gugulethu and learning more deeply about their work addressing gender-based violence and supporting survivors through holistic services, care, advocacy, and pathways to recovery and thriving. Especially grateful to go deeper into their work, from mapping services and providers, learning more about their community nutritional development service, to exploring how partnerships with universities can help build capacity, strengthen research, and support scale in ways that remain community-centered and accountable. Their existing work with @UWConline, @CPUT, and other partners is such a powerful example of what meaningful, reciprocal collaboration can look like. We also had the chance to see Damaris in action as we visited @callas_projects and stopped by Rainbow of Hope to pick up donations in preparation for a rural township project connected to #MandelaMonth. These visits were a reminder that community engagement is not abstract.... it is practical, relational, urgent, and rooted in people showing up for one another, even through the storms! ⛈️ Grateful as well for continued fellowship with Chevaan from @StellenboschUni and the opportunity to imagine how we can help elevate exemplar partnerships and projects in South Africa and beyond through the 10th International Symposium on Service-Learning, #ISSL2026, hosted by @StellenboschUni and co-hosted by @uindy and @UIndyCSLCE. At GivePulse, we believe the strongest partnerships are built by listening first, honoring community wisdom, and connecting local work to broader movements for service-learning, public engagement, and community impact. Continuing in Cape Town, inspired by the people, partnerships, and possibilities ahead, from Gugulethu to the broader work of community engagement across South Africa and beyond. Looking forward to more visits and conversations tomorrow. @CityofCT @lovecapetown #CommunityEngagement #ServiceLearning #PublicEngagement #VolunteerManagement #CivicEngagement #GenderBasedViolence #CommunityPartnerships #MandelaMonth #ISSL2026 #CapeTown #Gugulethu #CityofCapeTown #WesternCape #SouthAfrica
