The EL Community Project

Launched in 2021, the Emergent Learning Community Project is a grant funded project of Global Philanthropy Partnership. Its purpose is to support a vital, diverse and growing community of practitioners who, together and individually, are deepening their practice and achieving powerful results in expanding spheres of influence. Through a variety of activities, the EL Community Project helps practitioners both expand their vision for what’s possible and apply EL to specific and concrete goals. 

Project funding supports monthly and advanced practice community conversations, research into impact, the development of written and video materials and case studies, faculty development and the creation of new training programs.

The EL Community Project is led by a team of three project co-directors. An EL Community Advisory Panel is composed of community members who serve rotating terms of two-to-three years. It supports a number of Project Fellows who undertake specific projects or serve as faculty in EL training programs. 

The Emergent Learning Community is a project of the 501c3 Global Philanthropy Partnership and is supported by grants from The California Endowment, The California Health Care Foundation, Omidyar Networks, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
