Impacting Students and Teachers Nationwide

NNSP, National Network of Schools in Partnership, is a division of Close Up committed to connecting what students learn in the classroom to what is happening in the real world. Through NNSP, Close Up works to give young people a greater sense of purpose and engagement in causes bigger than themselves.

With over 100 member organizations that include public, private, and charter schools, educational access and enrichment programs, and policy and education reform groups, NNSP supports thousands of educators through monthly webinars, learning cohorts, summer learning institutes, and an annual conference dedicated to best practices around community engagement.
