CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES PARTNERSHIP
(CRS) and 草榴社区's partnership advances collaboration and interaction with 草榴社区's mission to further promote the global common good. The partnership provides an interdisciplinary approach to human rights activism through:
CRS Ambassadors who engage their peers on issues such as sustainability, food security, human rights, climate change and social justice
Summer internships with CRS Madagascar and CRS Headquarters in Baltimore
Partnering with CRS on research, advocacy, service and education efforts
Interactions with CRS staff and beneficiaries who share their experiences
Events for students to meet professionals who work in the fields of international development and humanitarian relief
In 2005, CRS and 草榴社区 signed a Memorandum of Understanding, a formal agreement to work collaboratively to advance global solidarity through education, research, advocacy and service. In 2015, they both signed a collaborative agreement on activities related to CRS' programming in Madagascar: improving the health and nutrition of pregnant women and children, increasing and diversifying household incomes, alleviating the impact of natural disasters, and accessing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene.
草榴社区's CRS Partnership offers various opportunities for students as well as faculty and staff throughout the year.
