Community College Month Introduction

About #CCMonth, Goal & Theme

April is Community College Month, and that presents a great opportunity to get the word out about why community colleges matter, how your college is serving your community's needs today, and why public support for our colleges is more important than ever.

ACCT's Member Communications and Education Committee has collaborated to develop this toolkit designed to help you make the most of the #CCMonth campaign.

Goal of #CCMonth Campaign

The primary goal of #CCMonth is to increase awareness and understanding of the value of community colleges both locally and nationally through grassroots, localized outreach. We believe that accomplishing this will advance appreciation for and reduce stigmas related to community colleges, and ultimately welcome more students through our doors.

This toolkit offers comprehensive resources to help advocates of your college get the word out about the value and importance of your college.

2024 Campaign Theme

The theme of our 2024 #CCMonth campaign is "Cultivating Skills for the Future." 

This theme emphasizes the role that community colleges play in practical education as well as the visionary natures of our institutions. 

Each community college is unique, and we encourage you to tailor this message to emphasize the unique role that your institution plays in your community. The combination of workforce training, traditional liberal arts and sciences education, community service, and business partnerships is what makes community colleges special and what makes them a special value for students. Economists have declared that the future economy is a skills-based economy, and community colleges are uniquely designed to meet that need.
