There’s Power in Partnerships: How Intentional Collaboration Increases Access and Engagement for Youth
As modeled by the U.S. Department of Education’s Engage Every Student initiative, this session highlights the value of intentional partnerships between state and local school districts, state and city elected officials, afterschool and summer learning programs and the community. This session will focus on partnership identification and engagement to develop and implement high-quality afterschool and summer learning programs for students. Attendees will learn about community asset mapping and identify new partners in their local community to engage to ultimately increase access and engagement for their students.
