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.
As part of the overarching philosophy of our organization, CCOR’s Connect2Complete Program seeks to develop partnerships with both formal educational institutions and culturally specific organizations. In this way, we design our programs to work in collaboration with community partners to address systemic inequities and barriers to educational access and success. C2C/Equitable Pathways Members will develop, implement and expand K12 academic programs that increase attendance and student engagement through mentorship, family engagement, and critical community-responsive pedagogy. Additionally, our community college C2C Members will use peer mentorship and critical community-based learning to increase student engagement and support their enrolled students in developmental education courses to move toward graduation. Our program focuses on low-income students, Black Indigenous and students of color, and students who are the first in their families 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. |
