A Message from our President!
Dear Colleagues:
WELCOME to the National Council for Community and
Education Partnerships (NCCEP) new, updated website!
Committed to creating and sustaining
education partnerships, NCCEP works to promote students’ academic
achievement and to expand their access to college. Postsecondary
education is one of the single most important factors in determining an
individual’s success in life, yet millions of young people from
economically impoverished, minority, and rural communities still find
the door to college all but shut to them. By building broadbased
partnerships, linking schools and communities, developing new
initiatives, supporting proven programs, and using research findings to
create successful frameworks for action, NCCEP seeks to achieve the goal
of equal educational opportunity for all.
NCCEP supports the partnership of colleges and universities with
local schools, parent groups, government agencies, foundations,
corporations, and community-based organizations in efforts to improve
education at all levels, to expand education opportunities, and to
assist students in becoming college eligible and academically successful
in higher education.
The struggle to achieve greater access to higher education for all
children regardless of social status or economic background is ongoing.
We invite you to join us. Together, we can work to ensure that college
attendance becomes a “dream come true” for every child.
Sincerely,
Hector Garza
President
