Grady’s Community Garden
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. | 17th Street, next to the Bonnell Building
The Garden promotes food sovereignty—the right to choose what you eat and how it's grown in a healthy, culturally appropriate, and ecologically sustainable food production system. Activities include planting, weeding, watering and more! Please contact Olivia Edwards at to get involved.
Next Steps AmeriCorps Program
The Next Steps AmeriCorps Program gives first-year students the opportunity to be paired with a mentor to assist them in their freshman year of college. This is a great way to benefit from the wisdom of those who have successfully completed their first year at CCP, and be introduced to the various offices and services on campus that exist to help you do the same. All first-year students are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to sign up. First-year students are also encouraged to engage as a service member for the following year as second-year students and become mentors to new students! Please email Michael Miles at to sign up.
