Summer's not over yet, CCE fam! Our featured outdoor spots continue with Firehouse Mini Park, located on 18th Avenue and right next to Byrd Barr Place! This lovely local respite offers dappled shade, greenspace and fresh air - great for a picnic with friends or bring the younger set to get their wiggles out on the playground! Get out there and enjoy the neighborhood, build community and dream big!

**🚨Community Partner Highlight: !🚨**

This week, we're uplifting FareStart! This local nonprofit focuses on job training and employment. The food-based business serves as a classroom for program participants to learn on-the-job skills that will prepare them for careers while nourishing the community and sustainably funding an important mission. FareStart's end goal is personal stability and economic mobility for people overcoming barriers to employment, such as homelessness, post-incarceration and more.
**
Seattle University students from across various disciplines and colleges experience FareStart from behind the scenes, conducting practice interviews with program participants, collecting and distributing fresh produce from partner farms, supporting events and administrative needs. Due to FareStart’s need and ability to host **lots** of volunteers, they are a popular choice for instructors who want SU students to experience the volunteer side of nonprofits, working directly with people in the community.

It's hard to beat a classic. The Lemieux Library Plaza is a great place to study, but have you ever just sat outside and enjoyed the space? It's a great background for summer activities, group hangouts or just a moment of fresh air. Sit near the top for a view and sounds of the waterfall behind you, or sprawl on the grass below.

Keep an eye out for a chance to join one of these mini immersions that introduce some of our local partners and a peek at the ways we connect campus and community!

Strolling around campus this summer? Here's another hidden gem right across the street from campus! This unassuming open space for gathering with friends (or just your thoughts) is the 12th Avenue Pocket Park, adjacent to Boon Boona coffee! We hear it's also a great place to play some co****le?
