Dr. Charles A. Scontras Center for Labor and Community Education

The Scontras Center provides training, education, and resources to unions, community groups, and worker organizations. We strive to develop deep partnerships with our surrounding communities and to serve as a bridge between the university and residents across Maine. We take a hands-on, community outreach approach to create participatory, popular education classes that make complex subjects such as workers’ rights and labor history accessible to working-class generations and New Mainers alike.
