Our Partners

We partner with organizations that advance socially minded leadership practices and that meaningfully serve our local community.

Partners in Student Development

Since its founding in 1970, the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL) has advanced the understanding, practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of society worldwide. Established by the Smith Richardson Foundation, which also provided the founding vision for the Caldwell Fellows program, CCL has trained every class of Caldwell Fellows for over four decades.

NC State’s Campus Conversations Project provides a framework for civic conversations on campus and across the State of North Carolina. It seeks to cultivate a campus culture built on mutuality, respect, and democratic citizenship/engagement, while equipping students with skills as citizens and as leaders of systems into which they graduate.

Partners in Service-Learning

When students are selected to join the Caldwell Fellows, they are immediately invited to contribute to the life of the campus, Raleigh, and the Triangle community as agents of change through the Sophomore Seminar in servant-leadership. This course connects small teams of Fellows with community service-learning partners in a variety of non-profit sectors. Learn more about some of our ongoing partnerships below.
