SCYP Projects and Classes

SCYP Projects and Classes

The broad range of issues communities face can be matched with the similarly broad range of expertise and focus of SCYP. The following list captures many of the typical project areas that past communities have focused on, though new ideas and opportunities emerge each year. Many projects involve community site visits and all projects yield a synthesized, professional report that becomes a decision-making deliverable for our community partner (and a great workforce development project for the student report writers). The past final reports are available on the Past SCYP Partnerships page.
