FWS Community Resource Unit (CRU) 2.0

The Community Resource Unit (CRU) is a student-centered initiative housed within Urban Institute at UNC Charlotte. We connect students with the broader Charlotte community through hands-on learning, civic engagement, and collaborative projects. Our goal is to create meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and personal development, helping students explore how they can contribute meaningfully to campus and community life.
