Not all learning takes place within the walls of a school, or even a classroom. The larger community—the people, the culture, the physical environment, and even the virtual environment within which we each live—are powerful teachers as well. When schools are integrally connected with their communities, the strengths of both are bolstered.

EDC projects strengthen the ties between schools and parents; they build relationships between corporations and community services. Our projects extend learning opportunities after school and off-campus, reach out to adults with literacy projects, and make information and communications technology available to underserved communities.
