The Community Learning Exchange is an offshoot of the Kellogg Foundation’s Leadership for Community Change initiative and was established in 2008 to spread the practice of collective leadership. LMC led efforts to establish the CLE’s identity among community change agents across the United States (particularly in the field of K-12 education) and supported internal and external communications throughout the initiative’s formative stages. Kellogg’s support for the initiative ended in 2013, but community learning exchanges continue to take place in communities around the country  thanks to partner organizations such as the Center for Ethical Leadership, the Institute for Educational Leadership, the Llano Grande Center, the University of North Florida, and East Carolina State University, which teach, promote, and practice the disciplines of collective leadership as a way to develop and sustain equitable, place-based solutions to local problems.
