Five College Committee for CBL

The Five College Committee for Community Based Learning (FCCBL) was officially established in 2003, but a group of committed staff and faculty have been meeting for over ten years to help promote and expand CBL throughout the region.

The FCCBL also supports a Massachusetts Campus Compact (MACC) AmeriCorps*VISTA position.
