About

The Civic Field Guide, developed by the National Civic Impact Accelerator, is a comprehensive resource designed to map the complex landscape of civic engagement for higher education institutions. It features seven terrains – place, people, partnership, purpose, practice, process, and policy – each with tailored toolkits, evidence-based frameworks, and practical guidance for creating sustainable community impact.

Synthesising proven approaches from leading universities, the Guide supports stakeholders at every level and encourages co-designed solutions with local partners, making it an essential asset for those committed to driving positive change through university-community collaboration
