Partners and Funders
Mutually beneficial relationships between community and university partners don't just happen — they require intentionality, the building and demonstration of trust, and a commitment to be engaged for the long term.
These are the hallmarks of the Gardner Center’s partnerships with youth serving organizations. We are grateful to the many, many partners with whom we have collaborated during the past 25 years and the funders who have generously supported this important work.
Twenty-five years is a long time — if we've missed you on this list, please send us a note so we can include your organization. We'd love to hear from you.
