Community College Bridges to Opportunity
Community College Bridges to Opportunity Initiative: Started by the Ford Foundation, the goals of this initiative are (1) “Promote policy innovation which supports the integration of the multiple community college missions through selected engagement of policymakers, institutional practitioners, and multi-stakeholder coalitions of support from business, labor, and community groups, educational leaders and others; (2) Research ways in which state and local policies can enhance community colleges’ efforts to expand educational and economic opportunities for disadvantaged students; and, (3) Develop models of effective institutional classroom and administrative practice for use by policymakers, college administrators, and advocacy coalitions.” Be sure to check out their Community College Career Pathways Toolkit.
