Abstract	As social problems continue to threaten the fabric of American society, the community has emerged as the single entity capable of meeting these challenges. It is increasingly important, then, that community colleges position themselves for the role of rebuilding communities. The loss of traditional support systems, changes in family structure, loss of educational potential, crime, a declining economy, poverty, and an aging population are critical concerns for rebuilding the community. Strategies which can help position community colleges to effectively rebuild communities include the following: (1) redefine the courses, forms of instruction, and delivery methods that make up the education process, focusing new definitions on workforce training and lifelong learning; (2) reconsider the notion of "customer," placing more attention on groups and entire communities; (3) redefine the institution's role in the community as a focal point in a community network designed to foster cooperation and offer guidance for continuing development; and (4) develop the learning community by bridging the gap between traditional and non-traditional education. Although issues related to funding, the loss of college mission, and lines of authority will have to be solved, the community college campus of the future should be a centralized educational, social, and community institution providing an array of services from the public and private sectors.
