Posted: Monday, September 9, 2013AFP 2013: New Community Engagement Center
The Anne Frank Project is pleased to announce the introduction of its Community Engagement Center as part of AFP 2013 Transforming Lives.
The Community Engagement Center is part volunteer fair, part networking event, and part dialogue and relationship-building opportunity. The center will host more than a dozen service-based organizations from Western New York in the lobby of E. H. Butler Library and will give AFP conference attendees a place to immediately connect with organizations and individuals “walking the walk” by performing good work in the community.
The key to the engagement center: engage. It is active. It is verb based, and it is people based. The center is about connecting students and community leaders, organizations and volunteers, and like-minded doers with like-minded doers.
The key to the engagement center: you. This cannot happen without your energy, your opinions, and your desire to connect and engage with the wider community.
The Anne Frank Project is proud to welcome you to our first Community Engagement Center.
Next week our campus will be abuzz with scholars, artists, activists, students, and professionals examining this year's theme, "Transforming Lives." AFP is a campuswide social-justice initiative of SUNY Buffalo State. Please encourage your students, friends, and colleagues to redirect their in-class work to the multiple sessions presented by more than 50 presenters from around the globe.
