A good education lays the foundation for success and financial stability later in life, improving our communities. But too many young people never get a fair shot. Many students in our toughest neighborhoods go to school hungry, sick, or not prepared, resulting in poor academic progress.
United Way invests in Community School Partnerships, bringing services such as health care, food pantries, after-school programs, and parent-education classes directly to schools. This has a positive impact on academic achievement, attendance rates, and parental participation. When kids do better in school, they can get better jobs, are less likely to use taxpayer-funded services, and spend more money in our communities.
Throughout the Bay Area schools, cbo’s and other non-profits are also working to expand the community school model. To highlight the great work being done this map shows the location of current community schools in the Bay Area as well as their proximity to SparkPoint Centers.
