Every School Community Is Rich with Opportunity

Description:

Too often school partnerships focus on the school being a service provider for the surrounding community as opposed to a network hub. From opening up the school building to businesses and non-profits to move in, to creating internships and apprenticeships throughout a community, this panel will explore innovative ways that schools can map the assets their community has to offer and how to break down the metaphorical (and sometimes physical) walls between a school and its community.
