This pre-conference institute introduces the Community Learning Partnership (CLP), a national non-profit organizing project working with colleges and universities to develop campus-community partnerships that enroll low-income students. Our projects contribute to transformative social change by strengthening the workforce of credentialed, knowledgeable organizers and skilled leaders from and for low-income communities, communities of color, and immigrant communities by offering unique academic credentials, work-based learning experiences, and mentoring. Drawing on statewide examples in California and Massachusetts, participants will learn about student recruitment, funding mechanisms, and curriculum in different program models within the network. Participants will be guided in small-group discussions to explore together how this model might resonate with programs they teach in or direct, or how it might be adopted and adapted in their own institutions. Participants will leave with a powerful model for social change and resources to begin discussions about it at their own institutions.
