CM&BHC incubates, produces, and consults for several ongoing projects in-house, or through our partnerships. The Center pursues sponsorship opportunities for design, development, deployment, and assessment, as well as gifts toward specific projects or general operations. The directorate and steering committee prioritize opportunities based on alignment with the vision and mission of the Center and its active initiatives. The Center contributes to community mentorship opportunities through a wide range of activities, which may include match-making, one-on-one consultation, or other pro-bono activities.
CM&BHC initiatives represent the broadest descriptions of how our mission is manifested. Projects are prioritized based on a combination of factors, including potential impact and benefit to society, and overall alignment with current Center priorities.
