12 Stories

Project Description

A physical and digital space where students develop a sense of belonging by sharing their stories while also helping colleges understand their needs.

Problem

Challenged to use Beyond 12’s digital coaching platform to mobilize community college students to redesign their institutions so they are more accessible, affordable, inclusive and relevant. However, we learned from our research that students didn't feel a sense of belonging, or community in their college.

Insights

During our interviews with students and professors from a community college it became clear that students would not drive change, if there's no culture of belonging.

Solutions

We created a physical and digital space where students can develop a sense of belonging by sharing their stories while also helping colleges understand their needs and provide a more inclusive, accessible, affordable and relevant experience for students.
