History
We have a long legacy of community-based learning and action at The Evergreen State College. Learn and contribute to the history of community-based learning and action at Evergreen.
The Center for Community-Based Learning and Action was founded in 2004, with roots in Evergreen's Five Foci. While Evergreen has always integrated community-based work into it's learning, the community recognized the need for a center focused on community action for this work to continue in new and creative ways.
