Center for Community Engagement Curricular Connections
The CCE supports community-based learning courses, helping students make connections between the intellectual rigors of academic study and the needs and expertise of the community.
At Amherst College, students are encouraged to embrace the value of community engagement as part of our shared commitment to the greater good. The Center for Community Engagement (CCE) is at the heart of this work, offering opportunities for students to link learning inside and outside of the classroom, tackle problems that matter, and develop a sense of purpose that continues throughout their lives.
The core work of the CCE involves supporting community-based learning courses, engaged research, volunteering, and creative endeavors connected to the local community. The department fosters collaboration and connections across campus and community through inclusive educational practices, allowing students to discover connections between the classroom and the community.
