Our Flourishing in Community Team

Directed by Julie Gafney, Ph.D., author of “Our Common Home,” the Center for Community Engaged Learning plays a crucial role in facilitating resource sharing, mutual goal setting, and regular communication among our community members who are involved in sustainability initiatives. The Center for Community Engaged Learning, which will serve as a central hub for the Flourishing in Community team, empowers organizations to improve community well-being through a proactive, collaborative environmental action plan that actively works to improve community well-being through environmental conservation.
