| Adams State College will use its Community Outreach Partnership Centers (COPC) New Grant to focus efforts in four distinct areas: business development, housing, arts and culture, and community organizing. The activities chosen have common threads that will build on each other, provide momentum, and increase the possibility of success. The business development activities will include a business training program in Spanish and one targeting high school students. Housing activities include providing credit counseling that will improve a person’s chance of obtaining a home loan. Art and culture activities focus around preserving the area's rich cultural arts through creation of increased exhibit opportunities, organizing art coalition, workshops utilizing cultural artists targeting youth, and creating documentaries on local artists. The community organizing activities include coordinating a local solar association, providing a range of support activities that promote civic responsibility and nonprofit education.
