PROJECTS
At the UCLA Capacity Building Center, we prioritize co-learning, equitable partnerships, and the open exchange of ideas and experiences. In our partnership model, partners are active participants in a journey of knowledge creation, collective growth, and shared progress. We foster a balanced and inclusive environment where every participant has a voice, leading to project outcomes that are highly responsive to the specific needs of the communities we work with.
