The CRC is an action research center collaborating with community partners for research and education. We build enduring relationships grounded in mutual understanding and systematic change. Our projects, guided by adaptable scopes, involve consultation, action, reflection, and adjustments. Together, we create products, knowledge, tools, and learning, often requiring resource support. We prioritize transparency, support fundraising, and provide mutual assistance for shared success.
The establishment of the WVU Center for Resilient Communities has been made possible through a long-term partnership with the One Foundation. The One Foundation partners with individuals and organizations to build and lead enterprises that regenerate community, the planet and self.
