As a consequence of its actions, RVA has been the catalyst that motivates and
mobilises - both students and local community members - to build resilience into
their lives; whilst simultaneously developing themselves personally, academically 9
and socially.
Since 2012, the school is honored to have hosted in excess of 250 local and
international students that have been divided in 15 work and study teams. Each
student has participated in CCC research activities and completed a variety
of climate change adaptation projects while working with the residents of St.
Vincent. It is fair to say that without the dedication, courage and ambition of
these people, the Academy would not be as far along as it is.
Believing that everyone should be given the opportunity to participate,
irrespective of their circumstances, the CCC program works with a diverse
range of stakeholders ranging across cultural, social and economic boundaries.
Participating members include local community and family members,
international volunteers, community organisations, institutions as well as
government bodies.
During these first five years, the CCC
has impacted upon the lives of 50.000
people in Saint Vincent and abroad.
