Our goals:

• Serve as an additional resource to current programs providing educational and scientific support.

• Encourage local residents to become involved in station activities.

• Conduct shared educational experiences with visiting groups and community groups.​

Neighbors Helping Neighbors:

• Our neighbors have been incredibly supportive and helpful since we moved into the neighborhood. Thank you!

• At the start of the pandemic, we started a garden at CCI for our caretakers, future visitors, and to share with neighbors during the pandemic. Thank you to our supporters for your generous donations which helped purchase staple food items.

• We all worked together to recover from the flood of July 2021.​

Events:

• In late December 2019, CCI hosted a community dinner for the neighbors, the entire CCI team, and their families to celebrate the opening of CCI.

• In March 2020, a local elementary school visited CCI and spent the afternoon with U.S. University students. The group took a hike together, discussing the animals and plants that they saw, and then participated in group educational activities in the Comedor.

• In cooperation with the local municipality, CCI hosted a community Soccer Day, where a national football champion (Jorge (la flecha) Barboza) attended!
