SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement

About SFU's Vancity Office of Community Engagement

SFU’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement (SFU VOCE) supports creative engagement, knowledge democracy and access to arts and culture since December 2010. We recognize the arts as a catalyst in social change and transformative community engagement. Our programs are designed in collaboration with and for our community, creating dynamic content in the areas of:
• Arts, Culture, and Community
• Social and Environmental Justice
• Urban Issues
Our work is guided by the Carnegie Foundation’s definition of Community Engagement as “the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities (local, regional… global) for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources in a context of partnership and reciprocity.”
