About The Community Impact Fellowship Program

The CCAC Homewood-Brushton Community Impact Fellowship Program is a three-generational peer-to-peer educational experience that aims to decrease STEM + Medicine disparities. Through a holistic approach, each of our unique subcurriculums will not only expose participants to diverse learning and career exploration opportunities in STEM+M disciplines, but also develop skills in various areas such as emotional intelligence, critical thinking and self-efficacy. The camp is hosted at CCAC’s Homewood-Brushton Center and runs July to August.
