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. Volunteers will have a unique opportunity to contribute to programming through hands on experiences with students, staff, and the community, which supports students from undeserved communities, creating a meaningful and lasting impact on their lives. Volunteers will assist in various opportunities from stocking food in the food pantry to organizing and distributing clothing, hygiene items, and school supplies. This service benefits the students and provides volunteers with a sense of fulfillment, personal growth, and the rewarding experience of making a difference. The CPS team will accommodate any volunteer according to their availability.
