COPC Documentary Project

This component of the Community Outreach Partnership Center brings together an interdisciplinary team of faculty and students to document the voices, images, words and stories of our community - university partnership with Bangor.  The immediate goal is to document the life of each project as it begins, unfolds, and is sustained with an emphasis on better understanding how the projects result in greater community inclusion, opportunities for youth empowerment, and affordable housing.  The larger purpose is to add richness and depth to the community’s understanding of itself as well as to the processes and potential of community - university partnerships as a vehicle for change.
