Making Community Connections

Linking Learning Inside and Outside of the Classroom

In support of a liberal arts education, Amherst College and the Center for Community Engagement sustain long-term community partnerships with local social impact organizations, non-profits, and public schools and institutions. From volunteer opportunities and participating in community events and celebrations to co-designing academic experiences with local representatives, the College’s relationship with these community-based organizations is a cornerstone for experiencing reciprocity and engagement beyond the campus.
