  • Communication recommendations to strengthen relationships 
  • What are school districts/schools looking for from higher educational partners

Ideas include, but are not limited to: 

  • Hands on experiences, exposure opportunities (job shadowing) and internships
  • Identifying pathways & stackable opportunities 
  • Tools & resources (xello, or other tools)

Track 3

Impact within Detroit & Other Communities

As PCC 2023 will be hosted in Detroit this year, we are looking for stories, lessons learned, and tools that showcase the impact within the city. What are some ways that you use data in your work to show the positive impact within these communities? Or, what are some ways you’ve seen impact within your own communities that could be adopted by those doing outreach work in Detroit?

  • Partnerships in & out of schools 
  • Community engagement and partnerships
  • Mentoring, attendance, tutoring 
  • College Access Support

Technology - Opportunities for Engagement

Outreach and K-12 students are probably forever changed by the global pandemic. Now more than ever, outreach groups are using technology in smart and advantageous ways to positively deepen their impact for students. What are some ways your team is using technology to advance outreach, DEI, college access, and more within your programs? 

Ideas include, but are not limited to: 

  • Tools for engaging students and families (web 2.0, software, innovative team building)
  • Student voice (what they like/what they wish was different) 
  • Videos

Track 5

Mental Health (for Students and Staff)

Outreach is a joy – but can also include hard moments. How does your team handle moments of stress or other conflict triggers? How do you meet your students where they are at and help them feel safe to be able to self-actualize within your programs? What mental health practices do you include in your programming to teach everyone?

Ideas include, but are not limited to: 

  • Tools & Strategies 
  • Resources available to use 
  • Best Practices that are implementing (quiet rooms/mindfulness) 
  • Yoga and mindfulness practices
