Whether it is through service projects, advocacy
opportunities, or educational workshops and training,
the Center for Community Action and Research (CCAR)
provides a pathway for Pace students to explore and
address community issues.
CCAR: Annual Report 2019–2020

In the last year, the Center sponsored 16 community service
projects, which included hosting an annual holiday party at
Pleasantville Cottage School and supporting New Roots, a
community garden that serves a refugee community in the
South Bronx.
The CCAR was particularly proud to continue its support of the
Pace Mobile Food Pantry on the Pleasantville campus, along
with the Dean for Students Office and Feeding Westchester.
Volunteers supervised by the Center distributed food to over
100 community members during the 2019-2020 academic year.
In the fall, Feeding Westchester awarded Pace the Innovative
Program Award for establishing its first food pantry located on
a college campus.
