Now is the moment. Across the country, we feel a sense of urgency—that the challenges and opportunities of today demand focused national action. At Compact24, we will come together as publicly engaged leaders, practitioners, educators & scholars to embrace the urgency of today.

Now is the moment to reinvigorate our work, jointly forging a path to the just and equitable future we all seek.

Compact24 is the largest and most inclusive national conference focused on the role of higher education in building healthy communities and fostering a just and equal democracy. Sessions explore topics such as civic learning and democratic engagement, publicly engaged scholarship, practice, and teaching, community-engaged partnerships, institutional action, and anchor initiatives.

Compact24 provides resources, professional development, networking opportunities, and inspiration to community engagement professionals, engaged faculty, community partners, student civic leaders, and campus senior leaders.
