Membership

Members of the Colorado Rural Education Collaborative have a shared commitment to expanding student opportunity, enhancing educational equity, and enriching economic prosperity for rural Colorado.

Ready to join the CREC?

All members recognize:

  • the value of sharing resources and relationships requires a certain kind of leadership—trust, ingenuity, openness, innovation, creativity, transparency, respect, responsiveness, and a mission-first mindset.

  • we have a better chance of realizing our common purpose if we connect around high-impact innovations, share everything we can, secure additional resources through aligned action, and actively participate in a community of learning.

  • we need to connect and not duplicate any of the numerous vital and relevant initiatives, organizations, people, and networks that are committed to a more positive future for rural Colorado students, schools, and communities.
