The University of Memphis provides multiple layers of support for local projects and community programs across the Mid-South.

As a metropolitan research university, we encourage community efforts to solve shared problems through shared knowledge, collective impact and community engaged scholarship.

As an engaged learning community, the University of Memphis celebrates collaboration to leverage resources for problem solving and the shared transfer of knowledge with community stakeholders for the overall advancement of our community.

Many programs to support local and regional community efforts are available for organizations seeking volunteers, interns, technical knowledge, and financial support.
