Community Sustainability
Alvernia is committed to engaging with the surrounding community on sustainability initiatives. Whether it is supporting the City of Reading’s climate action plan, working with Berks Nature on a watershed project, or providing fresh and affordable produce to residents in need, the goal is the same - creating a more sustainable community for current and future members of our community. The Office of Institutional Sustainability (OIS) encourages organizations to reach out and learn more about these partnership opportunities. We are stronger working together.
