PE

With community coalitions advancing early school success in 350+ communities across the country, Peer Exchange Learning Conversations provide space for networking, peer sharing and peer learning by entities — like United Ways, institutions of higher education, libraries and civic groups — from across the GLR Network.

In 350+ communities stretching across 46 U.S. states and territories, and two Canadian provinces, broad and diverse coalitions of partners have come together to take action to disrupt generational poverty and ensure more hopeful futures for children in economically challenged families. As we work to mobilize communities to advance early school success, we realize that certain local organizations, institutions and agencies are represented in many of these community coalitions and are using the Peer Exchange Learning Conversations as a vehicle for bringing these “peers” together to learn from and with each other. Occurring on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 12:30 p.m. ET, these online meetings also provide space for new GLR communities to connect and share what they are doing, where they are gaining traction and what they are learning through the process.
