Mission Statement:

Working in partnership with local schools, school districts and communities, the Center for Educational Partnerships improves academic achievement and expands post-secondary educational opportunities for students who face significant barriers to college.
 
Background:
Our diverse programs help young people overcome educational and financial barriers to prepare for and be accepted at two- or four-year colleges.  Ten programs provide services free-of-charge to well over 35,000 students annually including summer programs that give hundreds of students academic enrichment while they experience campus life at Cal.
 
Almost 9,000 6-12 grade and community college students benefit from intensive cohort programs. About 90% of these high school seniors immediately attend higher education and over 90% of these community college students who apply to UCB successfully transfer to Cal – and they are often the first in their family to attend college.
 
In addition, over 26,000 students are served through CEP’s school-wide/ systemic change programs which build college-going cultures in schools and districts by serving teachers, counselors, administrators and families. CEP partners with 96 schools and 30 California community colleges each year.
 
Location:
The Center for Educational Partnerships is part of UC Berkeley’s Division of Equity & Inclusion.

CEP’s main office is located at 2150 Kittredge Street in Downtown Berkeley between Shattuck and Fulton.
