About

The Southeast Regional Coalition for University-Assisted Community Schools (SRCUACS) was awarded as a regional training center for university-assisted community schools (UACS) by the Netter Center for Community Partnerships at the University of Pennsylvania.

SRCUACS will serve the critically important role of consolidating colleges and universities within the state and across the region to enhance practice and advance policy change for the expansion and sustainability of community schools. SRCUACS will act as a convener and central hub organized around six foundational principles: Coalition Building, Storytelling, Connecting, Pipeline Development, Policy Change, and Research.

Storytelling

Connecting

Asset mapping and identifying spaces for innovation

Pipeline Development
