The Center is a forum through which a range of stakeholders can come together to work collaboratively to implement comprehensive sustainable solutions that enhance the natural environment, economic vitality, and social equity in San Diego and Imperial Counties, and in Northern Baja, Mexico.

CRS and Service Learning and Community Engagement Program receive "Call to Service Grant" from CSU Chancellor's Office

November 2, 2009. CRS Director Geoff Chase announced that the Center has received a $45,000 grant to support a pilot community engagement project "Public Conversations for a Sustainable Future" which will engage students and faculty in intergenerational, community discussions this coming spring. This project will be coordinated by Undergraduate Studies with input from the Public Conversations Project, and will build on already successful student engagement projects within the Faculty-Student Mentoring Program at SDSU.  The Public Conversations Project is a non–profit that facilitates community dialogues on critical issues and the training model they have developed has been used by more than 200 universities and public entities in 38 countries around the world.
