The North Carolina General Assembly allocated funding for the expansion of adult learner initiatives. The North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) distributed $50,000 to each of the ten schools in FY 2022 which was from the John M. Belk Endowment (JMBE), other partners, and the state. The colleges were given until June 30, 2023 to spend the funds which were intended for marketing campaigns, adult learner navigators, re-engagement efforts, student ambassadors, and recruitment activities. While there are now 15 community colleges who participate in the initiative, this brief highlights how the first ten colleges, cohorts one and two, used funding from the state and JMBE to enhance the work of NC Reconnect.
