Learning in and with our communities

If you can’t wait to start making a difference, you’ve come to the right place. Community-Based Learning (CBL) pairs Mount Holyoke students, faculty and staff with local leaders in South Hadley and beyond to collaborate on internships, research and service projects that have a direct, positive impact in our communities. You’ll also be able to learn from on-the-ground practitioners and understand how to apply the ideas, theories and models you learn in class. A CBL experience breaks down the barrier between the classroom and the real world, enhancing your understanding of current social issues both locally and nationally, and helping you grow the leadership, organizing and advocacy skills that are vital to change making at all levels. And for our community partners, CBL fosters sustainable, mutually beneficial relationships that support local organizations and help them thrive.

The core components of the CBL program include student employment opportunities, tutoring and mentoring opportunities and community partnerships.

To prepare for said conferences, MHCMUN holds weekly meetings on Wednesday evenings filled with practice committee sessions and guest speakers. We hold trainings once a week to prepare delegates for both Crisis and General Assembly conferences. To further prepare our delegates, we hold mini-conferences each semester to hone our "in-the-moment" negotiation skills. The Five College Model United Nations Conference, too, is a favored MHCMUN activity in which we co-host, along with other Model UN organizations in the Five College Consortium, our very own intercollegiate conference. Throughout the year, either with these other organizations or on our own, we host a number of on-campus events for both the community at large as well as for MHCMUN.
