Maine Campus Compact is a higher education coalition based in Lewiston, Maine, comprising 17 member campuses. Its purpose is to catalyze and lead efforts to reinvigorate the public purposes and civic mission of higher education, with the aim of developing informed, active citizen problem-solvers and stronger communities within a more just democratic society. The organization positions itself as a facilitator and advocate within the higher education sector, focusing on transforming campuses to serve as vital agents of democratic flourishing. While it operates within the higher education landscape, its work centers on collaboration and civic engagement rather than individual institutional marketing. A notable development in its recent activity is a collaboration related to energy-saving upgrades in low-income homes, conducted in partnership with Efficiency Maine since 2017. Maine Campus Compact is based in the Lewiston area of Maine. The organization is relatively small in scale, reflecting a focused mission across its member campuses and stakeholders.
