Mission

Project Pericles is a higher education nonprofit dedicated to advancing civic participation and social responsibility across college campuses. Through faculty leadership programs, community-engaged learning, and co-curricular initiatives, we equip faculty and students with the knowledge, skills, and resources to address societys most pressing challenges. In collaboration with our consortium of colleges and universities ("Pericleans"), we foster institutional commitments to ensure that active civic participation is woven throughout the curriculum and campus culture. By providing funding opportunities, national convenings, and thought leadership, Project Pericles strengthens higher educations role in preparing students for lives of meaningful impact and public purpose.
