A learning community is a group of people connected through shared purposes, values, goals, interests, beliefs, and geography who collaborate and cooperate beyond statutory duties. Members reflect on how the community is changing, create learning resources to address needs, and learn from each other's experiences to develop a vibrant, participative, culturally aware, economically strong, socially cohesive community that enhances opportunities for lifelong learning through proactive partnerships.
