The Weave Project was founded in 2018 at the Aspen Institute to address the crisis of broken social trust by connecting, supporting, and investing in local leaders so they can weave a new, inclusive social fabric where they live.

The Western New York Service Learning Coalition is a collaboration of colleges, universities, and community organizations that is committed to sharing resources, knowledge, and practices related to service-learning and community engagement in an effort to strengthen reciprocal campus-community partnerships to promote student civic responsibility.
