The Reconnect Expansion Outreach Campaign Grant opportunity is aimed at increasing the enrollment of adult learners age 21-24 in community colleges given the state’s recent expansion of eligibility for Michigan Reconnect. The funding opportunity is open to community-based organizations whose primary focus is on serving individuals and families of color and/or low-income communities within community college districts. Organizations do not need to have an education focus as their primary mission in order to be eligible.
