COVID-19: Responding to Emerging Community Needs with Connect2Community Portal

Edward Ginsberg Center

The Ginsberg Center is grateful that so many members of the U-M community are responding to the COVID-19 epidemic by being of service to our students–and to our community partners who have had to dramatically shift their practices to respond to new needs created by this crisis. As a community engagement center at U-M, the Ginsberg Center is working to make accessing and coordinating information easier in order to maximize our community impact, while ensuring that we’re not adding burden for our partners. We continue to be in contact with other central engagement units on campus, and are working to align and amplify efforts where possible.

To that end, we point you to our enhanced Connect2Community portal where you can find needs and opportunities shared by our community partners that might be in keeping with your areas of practice, research, or expertise. This portal is a joint effort with our local United Way and Eastern Michigan University to ensure that our community partners within Washtenaw and surrounding counties have access to a broad range of volunteers and support for their evolving needs related to COVID-19.
