The Center has a professional staff of 14 faculty and research associates who carry out strategic management consulting, research and evaluation studies, and capacity building projects. The Center’s annual budget of $2.5 million supports a portfolio of more than a dozen initiatives – large and small. The Center Director also chairs the MBA and MPP concentrations in children, youth and families and teaches graduate courses at the Heller School. This mix ensures a rich exchange of community-academy lessons in both classrooms and communities. Based in an academic setting, the Center can draw upon additional resources from the University to supplement its own considerable resources.
