Build Resilience. Inspire Communities. Create Change.

Thanks to a generous grant from Orange & Rockland Utilities, Cornell Cooperative Extension Orange County opened applications for the second round of the Community Builder Program. The program follows the model of other Master Volunteer programs and expertly trains individuals, including high school-aged youth, to apply strategies and tools that create resilient and just communities in their fields of work, areas of interest, and environments.

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.

Sessions will take place on the first Saturday of the month from 9:30 am – 4 pm, and there will be a Zoom session every second Tuesday of the month from 7 – 8 pm.

The Community Builder Program follows the concept of other Master Volunteer programs, like the Master Gardener or Food Preserver programs, designed to build community capacity through volunteer services.

To build capacity in Orange County, all participants must volunteer for at least 20 hours within one year upon completing the program. For more information, contact Julika von Stackelberg at jv426@cornell.edu.
