İLE KURULMUŞTUR Higher education is now playing a major role in preparing new generations of policymakers as well as social innovators, it is essential to create a framework that can guide the next generation of social entrepreneurs. Students must have a clear understanding of what work on the ground with communities in neighboring communities looks like, as well as how to put community needs in the center. Similar stories were shared when we spoke with community leaders as well as activists, organizers and non-profit leaders. We heard about students arriving with noble intentions and instead focusing their needs, research and privileges without taking the time know the past and the traditions of the group or community they would like to serve. In some instances, we also heard about students created rival groups based on the same group they collaborated with. The evidence was gathered over to the past, mostly coming from New Haven leaders with no affiliation with the University in search of a fair compensation. This provides an opportunity to create an engagement strategy that is based on the value of community. The organizations like those of the Yale U.S. Health Justice Collaborativehave accomplished a remarkable job in enticing students to understand New Haven, even going to the extent of cooperating with local leaders to organize an annual New Haven tour for students who are interested in interacting in a dialogue with New Haven. These models are essential and especially so at Yale which, the underlying factors are the age, education level and race, as well as ethnicity and race, it is the New Haven metropolitan area, is the most representative of the United States. As administrators we could develop an infrastructure for students' projects to be informed by people living in New Haven, and the Greater New Haven area, this model is scalable and can be replicated virtually anywhere in the United States. This goal is behind Tsai CITY Engage, which is the initiative for community engagement at the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale ( CITY) which provides opportunities to collaborate in community and economic development within and around the Greater New Haven area. Our model is built on three main topics: sharing of knowledge as well as the development of an online community of practice in addition to capacity development. Expanding outwards from these concepts Our work stretches from the creation of the Economic Development Speaker Series and organizing a group comprised of Economic and Community Development Coordinators to act as connectors and interns for those working to create an entrepreneurial environment that is resilient located in New Haven, to facilitating the management of projects in an participatory budgeting This and other initiatives have demonstrated that encouraging innovation shouldn't be a top-down process based on the straitjacket of program design. Although the needs of students tend to be focused on making a low-risk color-by-numbers kind of programming that is replicable These models aren't always able to permit community-based demands to be incorporated into discussions when planning. The innovation that is facilitated by higher education has to be based on practice, and consequently it must be guided and continually shaped by the experience of those we hope to assist.
