Despite potential for rich engagement with community partners, community‐engaged research and evaluation are underutilized in professional counseling publications. This article includes an overview of principles for community‐engaged research and evaluation. Practical suggestions for developing community partnerships are outlined. A general guide for converging program evaluation within the context of community partnerships is provided, and considerations for navigating limitations of the approach are explored.
