Community Partnerships
Partner With Kent ISD
When your organization works with Kent ISD, your reach extends across 20 local school districts, roughly 280 schools, and more than 100,000 students. We connect you to the educators, programs, and communities where your support makes a measurable difference for students.
You bring expertise, resources, and real-world connections. We bring the relationships and reach to put them to work. Together, we can expand what is possible for students across West Michigan.
Where We Are Focused
Our community partners tell us they want their work to connect to clear student needs. These are the areas where collaboration moves the needle right now:
Mental health and student wellness. Support services that help students and families navigate the pressures that affect learning.
STEM and innovative learning. Hands-on programming, after-school opportunities, and exposure to careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Career readiness and real-world experience. Internships, mentorships, work-based learning, and the connections that prepare students for life after graduation.
Academic support. Targeted help that closes gaps and raises proficiency in core skills.
If your mission connects to any of these, there is a place for you here. If it connects to something else, we still want to hear from you.
