CLEMENTE COURSE IN THE HUMANITIES

CLEMENTE COURSE IN THE HUMANITIES is a non-profit organization based in Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts. It is a national coalition of programs dedicated to providing free college-level humanities courses to adults who have faced barriers to education. The organization employs 13 people and generates approximately $268,000 in annual revenue. The Clemente Course in the Humanities offers a unique educational opportunity for adults who may not have had the chance to pursue higher education. Their courses are taught by faculty from leading universities and cover a wide range of humanities subjects, including literature, history, philosophy, and art. The program partners with state humanities councils, colleges, and universities to make these courses accessible to a diverse range of students. What sets the Clemente Course apart is its commitment to serving adults who have historically been excluded from higher education. They strive to remove the obstacles that prevent these individuals from accessing the transformative power of a college education. The program's success is evidenced by its national recognition, including the National Humanities Medal awarded by President Obama in 2014.
