Ownership in place-based programs grows from multi-sector institutional partnerships

Evidence

The first principle is: Maximize ownership through partnerships. Each CO-SEED site winds up being a partnership between a higher education institution, schools, diverse community organizations, and an environmental learning center. The community organizations may be the historical society, the conservation commission, the department of transportation, or the planning board. Environmental centers may be the zoo, a local trails group, or a regional nature center. — David Sobel, Place-Based Education, 13
