The Institute is set amid a breathtaking landscape.
Join with colleagues from across North America and beyond, working to embrace service-learning in their teaching practice. Participants who attend the Institute enhance and integrate their practice and thinking on sustainability, service-learning, and place. We encourage educators to see themselves as change agents that are part of a larger group with a powerful voice—a voice and experience that will be used to leverage and effect wide scale changes in the focus and practice of education. read more

Since 1995 we have worked to draw together and galvanize individual educators and institutions—around curriculum that has place as the context, service-learning as the strategy, and sustainability as the goal. Community Works continues to build a nexus of collegial collaboration, professional development opportunities, and innovative resources for educators—supporting a shared belief in education that is centered on and in the community.
