For 2020, Ford College Community Challenge is asking college students to develop creative community-building projects that address local needs, around the theme Making Lives Better by Building Sustainable Communities.

Winning student proposals must consider, in a unique way, a tangible, unmet community need, tied to one or more of the following categories:

  • Mobility
  • Water
  • Social Enterprise
  • Safety
  • Workforce Development
  • Community Need
