UZAZI VILLAGE COMMUNITY EXPERT REVIEW BOARD
Uzazi Village has created the Community Expert Review Board (CERB) to address the need for community input in research and policy as it pertains to Black and Brown communities. The CERB works with researchers and policymakers who identify and refine projects that impact communities of color. We welcome the opportunity to work with universities, non-profits, think tanks, social service agencies, and research and philanthropic organizations.
