Partnerships

The EPC has forged a strong consortium of partnerships to help coordinate, implement, and evaluate our efforts to build college-bound communities.

We believe that communities are at their strongest when all P-20 educational institutions—from pre-kindergarten through university—join together to look at the realities of current student achievement, determine common goals, and create a plan of action to achieve those goals. 

We believe partnerships between PreK–12 educators, community college administrators, university faculty, and engaged community members will build systemic change toward educational equity.

Together, EPC and our Partners:

The EPC was recognized as one of seven effective California partnerships in the California Academic Partnership Program's report, Raising Student Achievement Through Effective Education Partnerships.
