Our
Projects
Through C2P2, communities gain access to a wide range of assistance for their issues by enlisting colleges, universities and other partners to assist these underserved communities with vital technical support through student internships, capstone projects, and other pro bono support. The C2P2 program provides practical experience for participating students in their areas of academic study, and the students generally receive academic credit for their efforts. The communities receive these vital services at no cost to them, and the students provide their services based on the value of the experiential learning opportunity provided to them. C2P2 has over 75 colleges and universities and executed over 50 projects from Alaska to the Bahamas.
