Our History
Formally founded in 1972 as the Urban Agent Program,
CCRS is the University of Delaware’s focal point for community engagement
and action. The need for a program of this type was identified in 1961
when the University of Delaware received a five-year grant from the Ford
Foundation to establish the Division of Urban Affairs with the mission
of developing a permanent, on-going system of education, research, and
service relating to urban problems. The Division of Urban Affairs eventually
evolved into today's Center for Community Research and Service. Over the
years, CCRS has been known by many names including the Urban Agent Division,
Center for Community Development and Center for Community Development
and Family Policy. Throughout these organizational changes, CCRS has remained
committed to promoting social and economic justice in our local and national
communities.
