BECOME A COMMUNITY LEADER

The purpose of the Community Engagement Academy (CEA) is to train community members to become community leaders.

Community Engagement is defined as the process of working collaboratively with groups of people affiliated by geography, special interests, or issues affecting their well-being. It is only through this collaborative work that issues affecting communities will be solved.
