when we work together, we are all better off

No one can do this work alone. In fact, approaching this work individually causes harm by perpetuating the status quo there is power in community—engaging and listening to the people we serve, holding space for each other’s strengths, collectively identifying gaps across institutions, and creatively envisioning new ways of approaching the work.

Partnering with postsecondary institutions and community-based organizations benefits students by:

• Creating an interconnected network of support that enables us to readily refer students to appropriate resources as the need arises.

• Making students feel safe and comfortable by meeting with them on-site where they already receive services.
