A Community Partnership School is both a physical place, as well as a set of partnerships between a school and community resources. A Community Partnership School utilizes four pillars- expanded learning, wellness supports, family and community engagement, and collaborative leadership- to focus its efforts in addressing barriers to success such as hunger, poverty, lack of access to adequate health care, lack of educational supports, and other challenges the community faces, as identified by the community. Through eliminating these barriers to resources for students, staff, families, and the community, the Community Partnership Schools’ goal is to increase the chances of student success and well-being.Fort Myers Middle School, A Community Partnership School, partnered with United Way of Lee, Hendry, and Glades, is seeking passionate FGCU students to serve as mentors and academic tutors for Fort Myers Middle School students enrolled in our Before and Afterschool Program, led by the YMCA of Southwest Florida.
