Our Work
Since 1984, the Center for Educational Partnerships (CEP) at UC Berkeley has been committed to increasing access to higher education through outreach and engagement with K-14 students, families, and educators. We believe students should receive the guidance and resources necessary to attend their college of choice with an understanding of
potential career pathways.
Through our ten programs, CEP provides direct services to students and families and offers professional development for college-access educators and community partners. Additionally, CEP collaborates with school districts, community colleges, and other higher education partners to create and align college access efforts with academic and career pathways across the K-16 continuum.
Our Goals
1. Improve the academic achievement of students who face significant barriers to college.
2. Increase the diversity of students who enroll and succeed in higher education.
3. Empower schools, districts, and community based organizations to foster college aspirations through building a college-going culture.
4. Provide deep impact and involvement as a partner in the Bay Area K-16 Collaborative and other K-16 collaborations and partnerships throughout California.
5. Create tools to partner with educators, families, and communities.
