About CLP

Established in 2008, the Community Learning Partnership of Greater Miami Shores (CLP) was formed by leaders from local businesses, organizations and educational institutions, both public and private, who seek to serve as a catalyst for community engagement.
Purpose

    * Provide a forum for sharing community, school and university educational opportunities/events in an effort to support each other’s activities, partner where possible and highlight what each institution is offering
    * Minimize barriers between students, faculty and staff: culturally, socioeconomically, geographically, ethnically, etc. through programmatic activities
    * Reduce costs and duplication of effort given the revenue issues that many of our private and public schools are facing
    * Enhance educational opportunities for all and reach out to underserved populations
    * Create shared experiences that help strengthen a sense of community engagement among all our members: students, teachers, parents, business leaders, and other members of the community
