Abstract: Public universities with campuses in urban, low-income neighborhoods have an opportunity and civic responsibility to engage with the K-12 schools, non-profits, and community-based organizations that directly serve their community. However, many community-engaged administrators and scholars are working with limited budgets and without formal strategic plans that prioritize or operationalize the commitment of university resources, suggesting that the need to institutionalize community engagement remains. This paper presents five types of capital that can be leveraged from universities as in-kind resources to create educational programming for youth from low-income communities. This paper features three community-facing partnerships alternatively based within a community center, on campus, and in two public schools providing out-of-school time education. A document review and deductive thematic analysis of archival data capturing the in-kind resources from the university over six years found the following types of capital were leveraged: physical, financial, intellectual, human, and social. Findings reveal granular examples of what, where, and how to leverage in-kind campus resources to launch and sustain educational youth programming and the early renderings of a strategic model for establishing inter-organizational alliances with cross-campus units for mutually beneficial outcomes from operationalizing community engagement.
