Center for Community Based Learning

 

Community Partners

At Occidental College, CBL classes aim for reciprocity, resulting in benefits for the class as well as for the community.  Community projects, and often syllabi, are designed jointly by faculty and community partners.

The expectations of Community Based Learning Classes Faculty and Community Partnerships are expressed in our agreement. Click here to see the full document.

The following is a partial list of CCBL's community partners.  New partnerships are constantly being created.  The list includes partnerships with CBL classes, with CBR (Community Based Research), student-run projects, and CCBL's founded North East Education Strategy Group.
