Para Los Niños Partners With Claremont Lincoln University

CLAREMONT, Calif., Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Claremont Lincoln University, an online by design graduate school providing a socially conscious education, announced its partnership with the non-profit organization Para Los Niños. This partnership will drive the shared mission of "fostering pathways to success through excellent education, powerful families and strong communities."

With this agreement, Claremont Lincoln University will offer a scholarship toward tuition for PLN employees. This scholarship can be applied towards all CLU master's degree programs in addition to workshops, both online and on-site. CLU currently provides master's degrees in Human Resources Management, Social Impact, Peace and Social Justice, and in Organizational Leadership with concentrations in 7 disciplines: Civic Engagement, Ethics, Healthcare, Higher Education, Human Resources, Professional Studies, and Tech Management. 

"This partnership has been a long time coming and we are excited about our prospective students," said Joseph Sallustio, CLU COO. "Graduating with a master's degree from CLU provides students with not only personal and career development, but through their socially conscious capstone work, students will continue to impact L.A.'s heart and soul-- its children, youth and families across cultures and communities."

“The Para Los Niños staff of over 400 are true changemakers – working every day to make progress on our mission to foster pathways to success through excellent education, powerful families, and strong communities,” said PLN President and CEO Drew Furedi. “We are thrilled to have this partnership supporting their education as well. Acquiring a master’s degree from CLU will not only build on an employee’s individual and social impact, it will increase the impact they have on their work with the over 6,000 children, youth and adults PLN works with each year in L.A.”

The partnership will go into effect immediately, and both CLU and PLN look forward to the outcomes this opportunity will have for the students, the staff, and the community.
