Community Learning Exchange
|
Since 2008, the Community Learning Exchange (CLE) has provided opportunities for place-based community change agents to openly examine their challenges, freely exchange best practices and learn how to use the collective leadership framework to solve local problems.
Applying what they’ve learned, CLE participants have helped their communities:
The CLE evolved out of a program initiated by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in 2002. The Kellogg Leadership for Community Change program (KLCC) tested the theory that place-based, collective leadership - across racial, class and age boundaries - could achieve meaningful and sustainable change in 21st century communities. The success of that program led some of Kellogg’s program partners to launch the CLE as a means of exposing more communities to the collective leadership framework and expanding the practitioner network. Initial funding for the CLE was provided by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
