Institutions must deliver real value to the communities they serve. The University of Washington Rainier Valley Early Learning Campus (RVELC) embodies that commitment; it is a transformative space for the community where children thrive, families receive support and educators deepen their practice. Designed with a dual purpose, RVELC provides high-quality early learning and childcare for the community while serving as a living laboratory for educators locally and globally.
Join Mithun principal Evan Bourquard for the session “An Equity-Focused Community-University Collaboration for an Early Learning Hub” to learn how this innovative community hub came to life through bold vision, strong partnerships and collaborative design. Attendees will learn how to build coalitions with multiple organization types that are authentic and focused on real needs in the community.
Evan’s co-presenters are City of Seattle former city council president Tim Burgess and University of Washington College of Education dean Mia Tuan.
