Equity is at the center of what we do.
With the nationwide call for racial justice, colleges now — more than ever — are taking action. Community Colleges realize they must examine and redesign structures, processes, and attitudes that fuel inequities in order to create spaces where every student can thrive.
Achieving the Dream’s equity services offer community college leaders the insights, foundational skills, and transformational strategies necessary to improve equity at their institution. We work with college leaders, faculty, and staff to drive more equitable outcomes, with a focus on improving student success and completion rates of historically underserved populations.
Our Approach
Achieving the Dream works with over 300 Network colleges across the country, helping them to identify and address equity issues on their campuses. Our staff, coaches, and subject matter experts act as partners to design and deliver solution-oriented consulting and coaching services customized to the context and needs of each institution.
