Vision
It is our vision that community education can help communities progress and thrive by doing important things with less. It provides local residents, community agencies and institutions the opportunity to become active partners in addressing community concerns. Community education means to create new solutions to problems, develop local leadership skills and improve the delivery of services through partnerships and collaborative efforts. Through community education, communities embrace the idea of life-long learning.
