Pieces of the PIE
Through careful consideration of a students' support system, attendance, their school's Family Resource/Youth Services Coordinator, and their teachers + administrators, students are selected to benefit from being mentored by a PIE Volunteer during school hours.
We seek out businesses in our community who see the need for a strong foundation of education and community involvement for our future citizens. They are eager to uplift and support students in the community through sponsorship, partnership, volunteerism, donation, and collaboration.
Our volunteers are the hands-on piece of PIE. There are multiple ways to be a PIE Volunteer - a weekly mentor to a student or small group of students, judging an academic fair, speaking to a group of young learners, being an authentic listener during student presentations, and more!
Partners in Education was founded in 2006 with a simple but powerful idea: Our schools don't have to do it alone.
We connect local businesses, organizations, and community members with schools to create meaningful opportunities for students. By bringing community resources into our schools, we help provide the additional support, experiences, and connections students need to thrive.
Our community has an incredible amount to offer. Local business leaders understand the importance of preparing today's students to become tomorrow's workforce, and they are eager to share their time, knowledge, resources, and expertise.
Our job is to make that connection.
We work alongside schools to understand their needs and connect them with community members who can help meet those needs—from financial support for educational programs to employees and volunteers who serve as mentors, tutors, and positive role models.
There is often a gap between the resources available in our community and the needs within our schools. Partners in Education exists to close that gap.
When businesses invest in schools, students gain new experiences and opportunities. When community members invest their time, students gain encouragement, confidence, and connections. And when schools and communities work together, everyone benefits.
Partners in Education brings schools and community together to connect, support, and empower the next generation.
