Our Community
Community Engagement.
Real people, real challenges, real chances to contribute. Our Center for Community Engagement connects students with the world beyond campus.
The Center
Learning that matters.
The Center for Community Engagement fosters meaningful connections between Sonoma Academy and the wider community. We believe students learn best through real people, real challenges and real opportunities to contribute.
As the school’s hub for students, educators and community partners, the Center maintains a network of local partners and helps teachers, advisors and clubs build community-based experiences into the whole year.
It is led by our Director of Experiential Programs and Partnerships, with a committee of students and staffulty.
