Community Education Leaders
in Rural Latin America.
ConnectED catalyzes a network of education leaders to transform their communities in rural Latin America. ConnectED’s bottom-up approach harnesses the energy and commitment of local education leaders by nurturing, building, and mobilizing their skills and strengths to improve education in their communities.
What We Do
IF
dynamic education leaders are supported to effect change through capacity development, resources, and locally driven solutions,
THEN
they can address educational barriers in their communities,
Which
will result in improved learning outcomes and prospects for youth, while also providing education leaders with skills, partnerships, and relevant experience to enhance their livelihoods,
ultimately
creating thriving communities.
How We Do It
ConnectED’s bottom-up approach harnesses the energy and commitment of local education leaders by nurturing, building, and mobilizing their skills and strengths to improve education in their communities. At the heart of our work are the ConnectED Fellows. With ConnectED’s support, networks, tools and leadership development, Fellows engage their communities in tackling pressing educational challenges through projects that make high-quality, relevant education possible for the next generation. We invest in the success and sustainability of our Fellows by providing:
Access to Resources and Capital
