CIVIC ENGAGEMENT COMMITMENT

Civic and Community Engagement (CCE) at Berkeley City College (BCC) seeks to integrate the college community — students, faculty, staff and administration— in efforts to engage and improve the social, economic, and political interests of the East Bay Area. This integration creates working relationships in where students gain first-hand experience applying democratic principles of participation and outreach.

 

BCC Civic Engagement emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community and works to expose students to a variety of grassroots organizing and capacity building techniques to help build power for social change. Although BCC Civic Engagement has a local focus, we consider state, national, and international issues interconnected and of vital importance to our local community and seek to outreach at these levels as well.

 

Ultimately, the goal of Civic and Community Engagement work at Berkeley City College is to instill a sense of civic responsibility in the community we serve through an inclusive approach that empowers all to become informed citizens and lifelong activists.
