Creating meaningful, scalable impact in communities

Community policymakers need the expertise and resources to find policy solutions to long-standing problems in areas such as housing, workforce development, opioids, or crime. That’s why Northeastern researchers launched Community to Community, an Impact Accelerator that conducts research and builds long-term partnerships to advance data-driven policies that target local challenges. C2C’s year one successes include delivering executive ed workshops to policymakers and providing an algorithm to help equitably place 9,000 youth in Boston’s summer employment program.
