Join the Community Collaborative Network (CCN)!

* 1. CCN Vision:

To build a diverse network of community members to serve as context experts for how poverty manifests itself in communities throughout the Finger Lakes Region.
 
CCN Impact:

From the “grass tops” perspective, the CCN will generate community-led solutions to poverty with input from “roof top” leaders across the government, business, philanthropy and non-profit sectors.

IPSED is excited to connect graduate student support with community members to assist with research and grant-writing support, to ensure potential projects, programs and proposals are evidence-based and have strong mechanisms to collect data on effectiveness.
