Community Based Learning

The Weissman Center’s Community-Based Learning (CBL) program connects academic work and purposeful engagement with the world. It links Mount Holyoke College students with communities through courses, independent studies, internships, research and service projects that combine learning and analysis with action and social change. Students learn about communities and learn to apply ideas, theories, and models to social issues in a practical context while gaining insights from practitioners in communities and in community-based organiztions (CBOs).For opportunities to connect your community service work with your academic work, take a look at the CBL program, which connects students, professors, and the community beyond Mount Holyoke.
