Lincoln Filene Center for Community Partnerships

The Lincoln Filene Center for Community Partnerships (LFC) facilitates strong, meaningful, and sustainable relationships between Tufts and its host communities. We support and encourage students and faculty members to work with partner communities in addressing community-identified needs. These positive citizenship activities can take many forms including academic research, curriculum development, forums and conferences, coursework, internships, volunteer work, and more.

LFC's work includes:

Advancing active research, education, and community service partnerships between organizations in Tufts host communities and Tufts students and faculty.
Developing resources for active citizenship at Tufts
Operating the Carol R. Goldberg Civic Engagement Initiative, in collaboration with The Boston Foundation, and supporting additional projects that address critical local public policy issues and capacity-building for host community organizations.

Alumni Profile Vanessa Kirsch (A'87) New Profit, New Hope Through her company New Profit, Tufts graduate Vanessa Kirsch is giving nonprofits the power to produce social change. Faculty Profile Maryanne Wolf Professor, child development WHY TUFTS: “I tremendously value a place where I can be real friends with everyone from the maintenance person to the president; this is a place where people care about each other. It’s also a place with the scholar-teacher at its core and that’s the core of who I am too.” CURRENT RESEARCH: Incorporating cognitive and neural sciences, linguistics and child development theory to understand the variations in the “reading brain;”application of those understandings to the classroom and to defining the range of dyslexia and appropriate interventions. AFTER-HOURS: “Every night at 11 or 11:30 (sometimes at 4 a.m.) I return to my roots as an English lit.major and avidly read poetry and fiction. I also swim, ski (badly), play the piano, and attend operas when I can.
