The Boston College Campus Community Partnership Initiative (BC CCPI) is a coalition, comprised of members of the BC community as well as the local community, aimed at addressing alcohol-related student behavior off campus, in the neighborhoods surrounding Boston College.

- realtors;
- Boston Police officers;
- representatives from the Inspectional Services Department;
- Boston College Police officers;
- student affairs officers and practitioners; and
- staff of the Office of Governmental and Community Affairs at BC.
