PURPOSE, MISSION, VISION, VALUES5“As always, your efforts strengthen our community andcontinue to provide remarkable opportunities to our C2Cscholars. We are deeply grateful for the ways this programencourages research, promotes the pursuit of knowledge, anddrives our mission forward.” Joseph E. Aoun, President of Northeastern University
The Community to Community ImpactAccelerator uses data and analysis to design,implement, and evaluate public policies thatpush the needle forward on complexproblems found in urban areas. We arescholars, researchers, policymakers, students,and community organizers working togetherto utilize a community-engaged researchapproach that fosters long term mutuallybeneficial partnerships. Moving at the speed of trust... INEQUITY IS A LEADINGPROBLEM OF OUR TIMEPublic policy is the solution.6
Local policymakers often lack rigorous data andanalysis to inform policy & academics typicallydo not apply their knowledge to the mostpressing policy issues in these local contexts.C2C BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICEC2C centers community wisdom by prioritizing thelived experiences of local communities to guide ourresearch and policy efforts. By co-creating solutionswith those most affected, we advance initiatives thatreflect true community needs. 7
VISION & MISSIONWe envision a world connected by thriving communities where sharedknowledge creates equitable access to purpose, power, and prosperity.Our mission is to understand and address social disparities by fostering trusting relationshipsbetween academic researchers and community or government partners. Centering thewisdom of community voices, we co-create research evidence that advances equitablepractices and policies in the places our university calls home.8

MAKING REAL CHANGE: IMPACT BY THE NUMBERS10“Research conducted in partnership with public agencies finds a readyaudience for action. Our foundation supports research that yields highprofile findings. One example is summer youth employmentopportunities in Boston. We had a study by Alicia Modestino, aneconomist at Northeastern University, showing that investments insummer youth employment payoff for less crime and more educationalattainment, and she’s continuing that work in Boston.”Adam Gamoran, President, William T.

IMPACT: SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT 17“Thanks to our incredible research partners atNortheastern University we have the numbersand we know what works.” –Boston Mayor Michelle Wu For the past two years, C2C has hosted approximately 200 high-school agedstudents across the Boston and Oakland campus locations each summer as part ofits Summer Youth Employment Program in partnership with the cities of Boston andOakland. Our research evidence shows that this wildly impactful program reducesviolent and property crime, increases high school graduation and college enrollment,and boosts employment and wages of youth participating in the program. Working with the City of Boston, C2C piloted several interventions, including a jobmatching algorithm, to increase both the number of jobs filled and the diversity ofyouth served. Many of these recommendations were implemented by the Citythrough an unprecedented $18.7M investment in summer jobs and for the first timethis year, Boston will guarantee a paid summer job to any eligible Boston PublicSchools student who wants one.”
