our mission is to use the Community school strategy to center Student and family voice, identify solutions, and advocate for systems change, resulting in student success and well-being.

Our work

We use the Coalition for Community School's Community School Standards as a framework for what we do. The standards are designed to engage and support the community schools movement as an evidence-based strategy to promote equity and educational excellence for each and every child, while strengthening families and community.
