The mission of Wheelhouse is to
support and resource current and future leaders in the California
Community Colleges system. The strength of that leadership is
essential to the success of the California economy
and to the state’s culture of broad opportunity for a
diverse population. Our focus is twofold:
Leadership development and support. Our institutes
deliver professional and peer learning for district chancellors
and college presidents that is transformational in nature,
tailored to current needs, and developed with the California
context in mind.
Actionable research. We conduct, translate and
disseminate timely, relevant, rigorous,
third-party research to inform practice and policy
development for Community College leaders and state and local
policymakers.
Where once college leaders and policymakers had to look out of
state for these resources, Wheelhouse develops and delivers them
here in California.
Our work is led by a diverse and committed team and counseled by a
Board of
Advisors composed of long-time leaders in community
colllege practice and research. Read more about our work in

Report.
