At ACM community engagement is defined as working reciprocally with the greater community to address public issues, solve problems, and achieve common goals. The process of community engagement involves actively seeking input, participation, feedback, and fostering a sense of ownership, trust, mutual respect, and shared authority with our community partners. ACM engages with our partners to ensure that every student will become empowered citizens that are knowledgeable about their rights and responsibilities so they might be an active participant in our democracy.

We accomplish our goals through 1) enriched scholarship, 2) enhanced curriculum, 3) cultivation of democratic values, skills and habits, 4) collaboratively contributing to the public good; and 5) working on critical societal issues with our community partners.
