Accredited Practitioner Continuing Education Hours Submission
Just Communities APs maintain their credential by earning 30 continuing education hours every two years, starting when the credential is earned and ending two years from the start date. To submit new continuing education hours, all APs must document the hours found in your user profile. Credits may be earned by:
- Completing AIA, ALSA, AICP, or GBCI credits related to Just Communities topics.
- Attending PSE-produced convenings such as our academies, circles, webinars, and conferences.
- Taking courses, trainings, or webinars from leading organizations such as NeighborWorks, PolicyLink, Enterprise, LISC, Collective Impact Forum, Race Forward, Urban Land Institute, Smart Growth America, NextCity, and other relevant professional associations.
- Participating in the planning or implementation of a Just Community Certified neighborhood, district, or campus. APs who actively participate on projects that are registered or certified for Just Communities certification can document hours that they are working directly on certification related activities.
- Authorship on relevant white papers, strategies, best practice guides, and toolkits that support the Just Communities field.
- Volunteerism on community-based projects that are advancing racial equity and climate resiliency in your community.
- Serving as a mentor to other members of the AP community.
