Rural Education Leaders Leading
Community Solutions.
ConnectED supports a network of rural education leaders who are strengthening their communities across Latin America.
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.

Since 2014 - Our Achievements by the Numbers
Our work is built on partnerships. We collaborate with community organizations, universities, government institutions, businesses, municipalities, and philanthropic partners who share our commitment to strengthening rural communities through local leadership. Together, we connect Fellows with knowledge, networks, expertise, and catalytic resources that expand opportunities for children, families, and communities.
