Community Education Leaders
in Rural Latin America.

ConnectED supports a network of rural education leaders who are strengthening their communities across Latin America.

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 community

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.

Our approach

At the heart of our work are the ConnectED Fellows — rural education leaders who are deeply connected to the communities they serve and trusted local leaders working to improve opportunities for children and families. Fellows receive leadership development, mentorship, peer learning through a regional network, and catalytic seed funding. With this support, Fellows identify community priorities, engage local partners, and lead locally driven solutions that strengthen education, expand opportunity, and improve community well-being.

ConnectED has a unique system that supports communities according to the education needs that the population itself establishes. This organization is very different from others and it is something that our community values.

Through my work with ConnectED, I’ve been able to create relationships with Fellows and organizations in other communities. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to other parts of my country and learned how to communicate better. Organizations look for me now as a leader within my community.
