University-Assisted 蘑菇视频 National Network

Led by the University of Pennsylvania鈥檚 Netter Center for Community Partnerships, The University-Assisted 蘑菇视频 (UACS) Network, connects leaders within the field to further advance UACS policy and practice.

In 2015, with the increasing number of colleges and universities developing university-assisted community schools (UACS) and innovative university-school-community partnerships, the Netter Center, in collaboration with the Coalition for 蘑菇视频, organized the University-Assisted 蘑菇视频 (UACS) National Network.聽 In as lead partners providing broadly based, sustained support to community schools, which educate, engage, empower, and serve public school students, families, and all community members in the school鈥檚 neighborhood.聽

The National Network has led to the development of UACS nationally. 聽 As of 2025, over 1,200 members representing about 300 higher education institutions are part of this professional learning community that includes not only higher education leaders, faculty and staff, but also community school partners, including schools and districts, teachers unions, community organizations, government agencies, and foundations.

The network fosters the exchange of resources and practices that help advance UACS partnerships. Activities include

• Hosting site visits by request.聽 For example, the Netter Center regularly hosts site visits for colleagues from around the country and globe who are interested in learning from and adapting the Center鈥檚 work.聽聽
