Hello, LINCS Colleagues,
The Open Door Collective (www.opendoorcollective.org) is a national network of adult educators and other stakeholders promoting adult basic education as a tool for economic justice. ODC has just published two new "Can-Do Guides," described below
-
"Greening U.S. Adult Basic Skills Efforts: What Eco-Partners and Adult Educators Can Do Together" : Describes why and how adult basic skills programs can collaborate with organizations that support environmental sustainability and green job career pathways. https://www.dropbox.com/s/iaj8f29nl3nvlgc/ODC%20Eco-Partners%20Can-Do%20Guide%205-26-19.pdf?dl=0

We invite you to read these and other ODC publications, consider joining ODC, and consider how you and your organization might establish collaborations similar to those described in these two documents.
