Our Community Partnerships & Programs
Atlanta Promise Neighborhood (APN)
A collaboration among Morehouse School of Medicine (on behalf of the AUC Consortium), United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta and the Atlanta Housing Authority designed to ensure that all children and youth growing up in the targeted neighborhood will have access to great schools and strong systems of family and community support that will prepare them to attain an excellent education and successfully transition to college and a career.
AUCC Anchor Institution Network
The AUC Consortium Anchor Institution Network is a gathering of faculty and administrators from Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine and Spelman College who are engaged in efforts to revitalize our surrounding community. Collectively, our members play a significant role in supporting development in West Atlanta through capacity building/resource development, housing and economic development, environmental sustainability, service learning, volunteerism or other strategies.
AUCC Community Leadership Collaborative (CLC)
Provides guidance to the AUC Consortium Executive Director and Council of Presidents in defining the primary goals and key strategies in building a vibrant community within and around the AUCC schools. The CLC consists of a broad range of stakeholders representing faith-based institutions; neighborhood associations; community organizations; government entities such as Atlanta Housing Authority, Atlanta Public Schools and Atlanta Police Department; merchants associations and UCDC.
