Center for Community Engagement

Awarded annually to recent graduates of York College, the Appell Arts Fellowship and Powder Mill Foundation Arts Fellowship are designed to give early-career artists the time and resources to extend their portfolio while also contributing to community-based uses of their art.

Taking students and faculty out of the confines of classrooms and into surrounding communities, community-based learning offers the chance to connect students to real-life issues.

The Spartan Volunteer Network (SVN) connects York College students, educators, alum, and local community partners with resources and opportunities for meaningful community-based service.

The Arthur J. Glatfelter Institute for Public Policy is a joint program of York College’s Department of History and Political Science and its Center for Community Engagement (CCE).

The Institute for Social Healing uses the resources of higher education to connect those who care about violence, trauma, and healing in our communities with the best possible information and with each other.

The Urban Collaborative is a donor-supported initiative of the CCE. It engages students and faculty from multiple disciplines in project-based research that tangibly supports an improved quality of life in York City.
