College access group finds new home at foundation

VENICE — The Education Foundation of Sarasota County will assume coordination of Sarasota County’s Local College Access Network, or LCAN, taking the reins from the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce.

The LCAN is a group of education and youth services organizations and funders focused on increasing the rate of students who "pursue a purposeful postsecondary pathway, particularly among those historically underrepresented in higher education," according to a press release.
