What is the GCE?

Johns Hopkins is deeply dedicated to community engagement at both a local and state level. We have incredible resources that can be used to foster community stability and growth through initiatives that enhance public health, education, and economic vibrancy.

The Office of Government, Community, and Economic Partnerships (GCE) is responsible for this work. We work to advance the mission of Johns Hopkins University and Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Health System by supporting an incredibly diverse set of programs on three different fronts (Government Relations, Community Engagement, and Economic Partnerships). 

Our team spends every day looking for new ways to build partnerships and use our resources to strengthen our communities, and we invite you to join us.
