Building Partnerships
The Community Outreach Partnership Center (COPC), also known as SUNY Fredonia/Dunkirk Community Partnerships, is a community-based program intended to build partnerships between residents of Dunkirk’s target area with local organizations and SUNY Fredonia.
Funded through a Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant, our objective is to utilize the vast resources that exist within SUNY Fredonia in order to build a better Dunkirk.

- Community Organizing
- Education/Cultural Development
- Economic Development/Job Training
- Health
- Spoke Folk – A community bicycle project
- Dunkirk Democracy Project
- Light of Hope – Clergy working for the community
