“It is absolutely the best magazine on Sustainability and Service-Learning I have seen. I have learned so much from them and I use the ideas when doing presentations. The ideas are fresh and trendy for education.”
Peter DiMaio, Spanish Instructor
Octorara Area Middle School
Atglen, PA
In recent seminars for education and environment funders on community and place based education, I have highlighted Community Works Journal as one of the best articulations of the work in this new field.
The synthesis of arts, environment, literature and cultural heritage work in the Journal reaches out to all segments of rural and urban communities.
David Sobel,
Director of Teacher Certification

“I’m so glad Community Works Journal has managed to survive so many years, especially in these difficult times for small publications...key reasons for its survival are the consistently high quality of the articles and their immediate usefulness to teachers.
This is a resource that truly speaks to teachers with excellent, provocative ideas. I’ve been using articles from it in my own teaching of teachers on the graduate level for some time now and students always find those readings especially helpful. This is an important contribution to those of us who see the classroom and the school as inextricably linked to the life of the community.
Thanks for keeping it going!”
