The Swearer Center is a community of scholars, students, practitioners and community members who work together to build on community strengths and address community challenges. Our work engages all as co-learners, co-teachers, co-actors and co-creators of knowledge and action. Through the creative capacities of our students, staff, faculty and community partners, we explore, build and implement collaborative and strategic projects, programs and initiatives. Our work yields transformative learning and positive, sustainable change through collective action.
