Our Place - Colman Education Foundation
An initiative of Colman Education Foundation, Our Place is a place-based approach to supporting the education and development of children and families in disadvantaged communities. Our Place facilitates partnerships that enable the local school to be the central place for learning and support services that overcome barriers to educational achievement.
What are we doing?

How can philanthropy, government and the social service sector collaborate to help children and families overcome the many barriers presented by socio-economic disadvantage?
