Story

Founded in 2009, the Community Building Institute Middletown is an asset-based organization created in response to Middletown’s economic decline, through partnerships with local and regional leaders.

Our Team consists of CBI Staff, Board Members, Countless Community Partners, Donors, and Volunteers…

It takes teamwork to help transform Middletown one student, one family, and one neighborhood at a time.

Thanks to the many people who help along the way.
