The mission of Education Alliance for New Hampshire is to be a catalyst to integrate community service and civic responsibility throughout the academic and student life goals of its member institutions.
Gear Up - Gear Up, gaining early awareness and readiness for undergraduate programs, is a federal program funded by the U.S. Department of Education whose mission is to significantly increase the number of underrepresented students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. EANH supervises staff and programs to increase opportunities for New Hampshire's underrepresented students to access higher education, create pathways for New Hampshire's underrepresented students to increase retention and ease transitions from high school to postsecondary education so that every student embraces the idea that college is possible.
Rural Postsecondary Economic Development Grants - the purpose of the Rural Postsecondary & Economic Development Grant Program is to improve rates of postsecondary enrollment, persistence, and completion among rural students through development of high-quality career pathways aligned to high-skill, high-wage, and in-demand industry sectors and occupations in the northern part of NH.
The NH-SFEC leverages proven, evidence-based frameworks and programs to build capacity of local educators and families, elevate family voice in educational policies, programs, and decision making, and form a statewide infrastructure for sustained family partnership in education. Specifically, using Dr. Karen Mapp's dual capacity framework for family engagement, we work both locally and at the statewide level to help schools, families, and communities build the essential conditions for success. Based on decades of research, Dr. Joyce Epstein's 6 types of involvement for comprehensive family, school, and community partnerships serves to guide our program development with both schools and families.
