CLP is training the next generation of leaders & organizers, especially people of color and working-class people, to create lasting change in our communities. We are a national network of Community Change Studies programs based in community colleges in partnership with community organizations and 4-year colleges. CLP is contributing to building a stronger and more equitable democracy. The Community Learning Partnership (CLP) contributes to transformative social change by strengthening the workforce of credentialed, knowledgeable organizers, and skilled leaders from and for low income communities, communities of color, and immigrant communities. Community change learn-and-earn career pathways prepare students to create systemic change in local communities. Students tackle issues of structural racism, poverty, public and community health, clean energy planning and development, climate change, immigration, community development and prepare for careers providing critical services to immigrant communities.
