November 13, 2025 is National Community Education Day!
This is a day to honor the people, programs, and purpose behind learning that goes far beyond school walls. We are pleased to shine a light on community centered education. From early childhood to adulthood, we want to thank all the teachers, coordinators, and volunteers who help it happen. These efforts build stronger neighborhoods where growth never stops and learning stays within reach for every stage of life. Community Education is about people supporting one another, sharing ideas, and gaining skills that make everyday life better.
