The mission of the School Engagement Interest Group is to promote interchange about the application of community psychological practice, research, and theory to P-16 schools and other educational spaces in an effort to promote well-being, empowerment, equity, collaboration, action, and systems change.
We welcome all folks that are interested in, or currently conducting, community-based work with schools to be involved in our Interest Group. Our goal is to increase collaboration, networks, and presence of school-based community engaged work and provide a space to share resources, troubleshoot, and learn from like-minded individuals. Here are a few ways you can be involved:
