    Strengthening School-Family-Community Connections

    To help schools and other key stakeholders build deep, intentional partnerships that achieve better results for every young person, from early childhood to young adulthood.

    Community schools foster learning environments that extend far beyond the classroom. Students learn and problem solve in their communities. Our vision for community schools is that through investing in youth and community development, students will engage in learning, achieve to the best of their ability, and become productive citizens and participants in our democracy.

    Read a recent Education Week article on connecting youth to communities to enhance development and learning. Read our Community Schools report, Community-Based Learning: Engaging Students for Success and Citizenship.
