What is the Community Water Corps (CWC)?
The CWC is a part of the Coastline and People (CoPe) Project based at East Carolina University. The goals of the program are to work with the community to identify and find solutions to water quality issues. To understand the goals of each community, interviews and surveys take place to gather information about what is important to the community. The CWC program also serves to encourage people from their community to become more active and learn more about water issues within their area.
