Established in September 2009 with the generous support of the Imperial Oil Foundation, the Community Outreach Centre is an important hub for innovative programs and projects related to literacy, mathematics, science and technology education.

The Community Outreach Program is partially sponsored by the Faculty's Mathematics, Science and Technology Education Group (MSTE).

The Community Outreach Centre brings together local partners, such as community agencies, museums, educators, local artists, musicians and volunteers, other departments within Queen’s, and St. Lawrence College, to coordinate activities and to produce useful resources for teachers and parents.

The spring/summer 2013 issue of the Queen's Education Letter focused on community outreach and was guest-edited by Dr. Lynda Colgan, Coordinator of the Community Outreach Centre.
