A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:
The Center for Community Engagement maintains partnerships with a wide range of non-profit organizations, schools, and government offices in the greater Windham area. The CCE provides volunteers at 27 program days each week with 16 different organizations during the academic year. We also provide volunteers for nearly 100 one-time events for community partners such as community events, fundraising events, school programs, and more. The CCE has sustained these partnerships for nearly ten years and many have become fully integrated into the community.
We offer two large community events, Day of Caring in the fall and Town Pride, Town Wide in the spring, which provide a large number of volunteers for community clean ups, including raking, gardening, painting, eradication of invasive species, etc. We work with a large number of partners on these projects throughout the Windham area.
We work collaboratively with the local Chamber of Commerce to promote and support local businesses through development of community-based internships, volunteer activities and promotion of events. The CCE supports service-learning courses that provide students with opportunities to engage with local for-profit and non-profit businesses to gain skills and experiences for future employment.
