It is the vision of our consortium, that our institutions are linked through collaboration and that we are united in partnership with our East Valley communities.

Through the East Valley Think Tank, we continually initiate and develop partnerships between K-12 institutions, our community colleges, and universities. These partnerships will sustain and enhance an educational environment that will allow our students - at all levels and of all ages - to thrive.

"Service learning is a source of hope, humanity and compassion that should never be closed. The warmth and inner spirit that comes from providing service to those who students would not normally work with is immeasurable."

Arnette Ward, President - Chandler-Gilbert Community College

Arizona State University is a Research 1 university bringing in approximately $85 million in research grants each year.



Jeff is a 3rd grader participating in the America Reads program - a program to ensure that all 3rd graders can read before advancing to the 4th grade. As part of the program, Jeff reads to Jason, a local community college student involved in the service learning program. The bond that has formed between Jeff and Jason is educational partnering at its best.
