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 two Massachusetts Campus Compact (MACC) AmeriCorps*VISTA positions.
