Community Engagement
Change Lives Here
RCAH Students Are Changing the World Through the Arts and Humanities.
Community engagement is where the arts and humanities come together to accomplish RCAH’s mission of building a better world, and RCAH students play a vital part in it. Since its founding, RCAH has formed close partnerships with dozens of community organizations in the greater Lansing area, across Michigan, and around the world.
These partnerships provide dynamic learning opportunities for students to use their arts and humanities education through classes, internships, jobs, and other interactions.
RCAH Community Engagement Efforts Include...
- Ongoing work with Lansing’s Refugee Development Center, including an annual summer camp at RCAH for refugee middle school and high school students.
- A longtime partnership with Lansing vocational rehabilitation center Peckham Inc., which encompases classwork and community art projects such as a major sculpture project entitled “Gateway to Inclusion” at Lansing’s Capital City Airport.
- Community engagement work with small, indigenous communities by students and staff in the RCAH Program on Sustainability in Costa Rica.
