K-12 and Community Relations

Creating Pathways to Higher Education 

Our mission is to serve as a community resource to enrich the quality of life for students and our community by embracing the educational values of diversity, environmental sustainability and engaged citizenship. We believe that education provides the basis for individual capacity, economic viability and social equity.  

We are focused on creating pathways to higher education in two key ways.

  • Developing opportunities for high school students to earn college credit.
  • Connecting UW-Green Bay with partners to expand student opportunities and K-12 programming.

Our programs aim to uphold the idea of 'the educated person' : someone guided by a love of learning, a commitment to inquiry, and who is an active citizen, providing service to the community.
