Community Partners (Spring 2025 Capstone)

The Policy School at Northeastern University is grateful to the remarkable community partners who are collaborating with our student teams as part of our Spring 2025 Policy Capstone. The Policy Capstone marks the culmination of the master’s degree journey as students in their final semester of study collaborate with our public service and non-profit partners to collectively leverage their skills, knowledge, and networks in service of driving meaningful policies, processes, and practices that support our communities.

In Spring 2025, our Policy Capstone is home to 76 graduating students, 21 community partners, and 5 faculty, across 3 modalities (online, in-person – Boston, in-person – Arlington). We are proud of our students’ contributions and deeply grateful for the collaborative efforts of our community partners in shaping the next generation of thinkers, doers, and dreamers.

Our Spring 2025 Community Partners include: the City of Boston – Mayor’s Office of LGBTQIA2S+ Advancement; Boston City Councilor for District 7, Tania Fernandes Anderson; Greater Grove Hall Main Streets; Caribbean Integration Community Development, Inc.; Food Rescue US – Boston; Boston Children’s Hospital; Fenway Community Development Corporation; Control Risks; MA Office of the State Auditor; Asian Community Development Corporation; City of Boston – Planning Department; RethinkAI; Greater Malden Asian American Community Coalition; Mass Ave Coalition; Massachusetts Afterschool Partnership; City of Boston–People Operations Cabinet ; Boston Housing Authority; and Chinatown Community Land Trust.

We are always on the lookout to build new relationships with community partners–and we’re excited to strengthen and continue our current partnerships.
