The CDC is committed to the revitalization and development of Beaver Falls, making it a better place to live, work and do business. This partnership provides City House students an opportunity to learn about community development projects in Beaver Falls, offer feedback or suggestions, and invest themselves in the health and vitality of our city. City House also partners with The Soma Gathering, a local church in the community, in which Wendy, Brad, and Karissa (City House Resident Director) are members. Each member of the City House further contributes to the community and gains a rich understanding of our context by serving at the local soup kitchen. Each month, the City House students plan, cook, and serve the weekly meal. In past years, students have also volunteered at a nearby nursing home, Tiger Pause (youth ministry), Neighborhood North Museum of Play, the Center for Creative Arts Expression, Habitat for Humanity, and TRAILS Ministries, the Carnegie Library and Big Brothers Big Sisters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85f32349fc2bd45d5d7119/1520480289060-A9CPUTUQBJM2HDEBI17C/CDC+Logo.png Community Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85f32349fc2bd45d5d7119/1520865525193-BQ592GLW5UVPBRKJWJ1I/Screen+Shot+2018-03-07+at+11.50.37+AM.png Community Partners https://www.cityhousebeaverfalls.com/research daily 0.75 2018-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a85f32349fc2bd45d5d7119/1520481662592-1KOWS1BJM7XOJ7LK7DNV/library.jpg Research - Research The following research has guided an understanding of our social context, Beaver Falls in particular, and the value of living-learning communities as a transformative approach to student learning.
