AoC Merch Shop

The AoC Merch Shop provides colleges, partners and stakeholders with access to merchandise and promotional materials to support campaigns like Adult Learning Pays and Colleges Week.

Created as a member benefit, the shop makes it easier for colleges to source campaign merchandise through trusted, AoC-approved suppliers. AoC does not generate profit from merchandise sales and acts solely as a facilitator between colleges and suppliers to simplify the ordering process.

Designed to support both local and national campaign activity, our range of branded merchandise helps raise awareness, spark conversations and showcase the impact of colleges across communities. All merchandise is produced to order through our approved suppliers.
