The Community CENTER at Cal Poly
|
The Community Center creates and sustains reciprocal learning partnerships among the members of the local regional and global communities. Through intentional and interactive experiences curricular understanding is enhanced, civic and social awareness is increased and the complexities of the human condition are better addressed.
The Center's offerings focus upon issues of social justice and the importance of each individual's contribution to the common good. The Center's programs assist in the development of attitudes and values that encourage every University member to meaningfully contribute to the place in which they live.
The Center houses a variety of programs that draw student and staff participation. Among these are the sixteen 'projects' of Student Community Services including: Youth Education, Youth Challenge, Best Friends, Poly Pals, Environmental Council, Senior Services, Beyond Shelter, Raise the Respect, Special Events, Computer Partners, College Buddies, Healthy Helpers, Sports Outreach, Strive to Provide, Students for Social Change, and the Volunteer Reserve Corps.
