Facilitating community engagement in education
Creating partnerships that put academic achievement and wellbeing at the centre
Let’s work collaboratively with schools and community-based organizations to promote educational change that is adapted to students’ and communities’ needs.
Building educational programs grounded in evidence-based practices
Imagine full-service schools with seamless interaction across schools and communities, where all students have easy access to coordinated social, healthcare and educational services provided by community-based organizations.
