CREATE Project Partnerships include community organizations such as the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation, the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County, the City of Dunkirk, Dunkirk City School, P-Tech College and Career Academy, the Dunkirk Public Library, CAP (Child Advocacy Program) and the Blossom Garden Friends Peace and Education Center.
The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation is the 501-C3 fiscal sponsor for the CREATE Project. The Boys & Girls Club of Northern Chautauqua County is the CREATE Project’s Lead Community Partner. Though we enjoy a cooperative relationship with both these entities, the CREATE Project is an independent and separate entity and operates as such.
