Who We Are
Vision
Mission
We are a network of community
organizations, activists, academics, professionals, government
officials and students who are working to build mutually beneficial partnerships
between local institutions of higher education and the people of
Holyoke.
Vision
Our aim is to promote social, political and economic equality
in
Holyoke through a participatory, community driven approach to
sustainable
development.
Mission
Our network seeks to bring
together
Holyoke community-based organizations (CBOs), community institutions,
and
local government with the research and educational resources of the
region,
including those of the Five Colleges. We recognize this process as
community-driven, whereby local institutions of higher education will
take direction and leadership
from the residents and CBOs of Holyoke. By responding to the needs and
priorities
of Holyoke residents, local institutions of higher education will
enhance
the quality of the education they produce as well as carry out their
mission
to promote civic engagement amongst the campus community.
