C3 Mobility: Launching a Student-Led Improvement Community

75-min | In-Person
Focus Areas: Postsecondary Innovation, Student Attainment, Student and staff social emotional wellbeing

Session participants will hear how members of the CARPE College Access Network launched the C3 Mobility Decentralized Autonomous Organization. C3 takes a simple —yet surprisingly uncommon — approach to the challenge of supporting students to make a successful college transition: We nurture a student-led improvement community where students are compensated for their participation. First, underrepresented high school seniors are matched with mentors attending the same college. Through these peer relationships, students receive support and develop a sense of belonging. Within this community, students use the tools of continuous improvement to chart a collective path toward college success. C3 student community members will co-present, speaking to their experience.
