AmeriCorps Connect2Complete: Equitable Pathways

In partnership with Oregon Volunteers and the Corporation for National and Community Service, Campus Compact of Oregon's Connect2Complete AmeriCorps program seeks to help participating campuses tackle chronic absenteeism as well as deepen student engagement for continued success.

C2C Members will develop, implement and expand K12 academic programs that increase attendance and student engagement through mentorship, family engagement, and service learning. Additionally, our community college C2C Members will use peer mentorship and service learning to increase student involvement and help enrolled students in developmental education courses move toward graduation.

Our program focuses on low-income students, students of color, and students who are the first in their family to attend college (first generation students). C2C Members will work with supervisors, school district attendance teams, and community college faculty and staff to create an environment at academic institutions that all students want to attend and are able to succeed.
