Community Initiatives
In addition to hosting town-specific presentations about school funding, sharing action opportunities, and serving as a trusted resource for all knowledge levels, our Community Engagement team also works behind-the-scenes to lead community initiatives that encourage thoughtful collaboration and provide community members with opportunities to connect and learn.

Youth Town Halls
Are you a student? We want to hear from you about all the things you wish you could change and how you want to make a difference!
We're holding Youth Town Halls — facilitated by students — in different communities across the state to empower student voices and help youth engage meaningfully in local and school policy discussions.

This initiative is made possible through the generous support of the Chelsea Groton Foundation and the Liberty Bank Foundation

ConneCTed for Change
ConneCTed for Change is a statewide effort to build relational infrastructure for education equity organizing. Each small group is tailored to its local context and led by trusted members of the community. Sessions will support personal reflection, civic learning, relationship building, and collaborative action planning.

Speakers Network
Telling your story is a powerful tool that can be used to create change. Through our Speakers Network we are providing resources and training for those who want to learn how to tell their story, or for those looking for opportunities to tell their story publicly.

Community Engagement Fellows (2024-25)
For the 2024-25 school year, we offered a Community Engagement Fellowship for individuals wanting to learn more about community engagement and creating change in their communities.
Five amazing women were selected for the Fellowship and dedicated their time over eight months. Their work culminated in capstone projects that reflected the change they want to make change in their communities.
