Partners

ARC collaborates with schools, community organizations, art and historical institutions, local and state government agencies, and colleges and universities to plan, develop and deliver its program and has been cited as a prototype for education/business partnerships. There are no other programs in Connecticut offering similar education experiences.

Recent partners include: The Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Abolition, and Resistance at Yale University; Trinity College; Yale University Teacher Education College, St. Jospeh College; Old State House; Connecticut State Library; New Haven Museum and Historical Society; and the Capitol Region Education Council. These partners have been supported as well by outstanding regional and state cultural organizations, government agencies and individual scholars and historians!

The ARC’s volunteer corps participation is crucial to the organization’s sustenance and growth.
