Promoting Student, Family, and Community Success
A Community School is both a place and a set of strategic partnerships among a school and other community resources. It promotes student achievement, positive conditions for learning, and the well-being of families and communities.
How—and Why—Community Schools Work
Guided by a dedicated United Way Community School Coordinator, every Community School taps into distinct resources to address the needs of students, families, and the community.
This holistic approach, weaving together academics, health and social services, youth and community development, and community engagement, directly impacts student learning, strengthens families, and nurtures healthier communities.
