MCLA in the Community

Service and Leadership

Service is in MCLA's DNA. Leadership, on and off campus, provides the competencies for effective participation in civic and democratic life. These guide us to become responsible local and global citizen. Our Stories are impressions we leave behind that others may follow.

Educators & Entrepreneurs, Skilled in Art and Science

Growing from our history in the arts, sciences and professional programs, we participate and are lead partners in many regional endeavors. Learn more about our community initiatives.

MCLA provides local teachers and students with opportunities and resources in order to connect and support Berkshire County's youth, serving as a pipeline to funnel students into critical industries.

BERC goals are to strengthen the educational experience in environmental areas and sustainability, both for students at MCLA, and for the community that benefits from BERC programming.
