Community schools are one of the most efficient and effective strategies to improve outcomes for students as well as families and communities. Community schools are built on the simple logic that schools and communities are mutually dependent and that strong and purposeful partnerships between them are essential to students’ academic success. Through these partnerships, community schools align and integrate strategies to support students, strengthen schools, engage families, and build communities where learning happens and where all children have a fair chance to reach their full potential.
The Crim Fitness Foundation is seeking a Community Schools Coordinator to effectively lead students, parents, school staff, and the community toward our shared vision to prepare students for success in school and in life.
