Welcome to
ConnCAN

Since 2005, ConnCAN has advocated through the power of community around a foundational belief in our students’ potential, and advanced a vision of equitable access to a high-quality public education.

Our Mission

ConnCAN is a leading advocacy organization that ensures each child in Connecticut has equitable access to a high-quality public education.

Our Vision

We envision a Connecticut where each learner has access to an exceptional public education system that:

Supports diverse learning environments with personalized paths to academic, civic and economic success, and lifelong fulfillment.

Attracts and retains educators that pursue excellence in every learning space, with rigorous student-centered standards to measure success.

Empowers families with the tools they need to guide their children toward that success. This vision relies on a family’s ability to make informed choices about where their children learn and thrive.

Believe in Better

The local advocacy campaigns across the 50CAN network are based in states all across the country, from Hawaii to Georgia, and Connecticut to Louisiana. Despite the differences in local contexts, our campaigns are united in working to deliver on 5 promises to America’s children:
