The Power and Place Collaborative invites the Elon community to two Building Bridges community events this fall on Nov. 9 and Dec. 3.

The $3,500 grant will support the Power and Place Collaborative that is a partnership between the university, Burlington's Mayco Bigelow Center, and the African American Cultural Arts and History Center.

In partnership with the Power and Place Collaborative and Burlington Summer Youth Camps, Elon Master of Education students connected over 200 Burlington youth through design thinking workshops on the power of sharing stories and connecting to our communities.
