Community Resilence Builder Program

The 10-month intergenerational Master Volunteer Program for Building Community Resilience guides participants in creating the conditions for resilience and regenerative well-being. Community Builders will learn to apply frameworks, strategies, and tools that build resilient and just communities in their respective fields of work, areas of interest, and environments.

This program is for everyone who wants to "do" something, is interested in personal growth, and is interested in supporting communities to navigate challenges related to public and mental health, climate change, community and economic vitality, equity, education, public safety, and public policy.

The program thrives on its diverse participants with backgrounds, interests, and experiences, which include educators, human services providers, mental health and health care providers, business leaders and professionals, law enforcement, community leaders, faith-based community leaders, and members, community activists, policymakers, and community members at large.

Continuing Education Units from Cornell University are available.
