Organizing your work as a community connector.
CommunityShare is on a mission to ignite civic engagement and a passion for learning by transforming communities into thriving learning ecosystems that give students equitable access to opportunities to realize their unique potential. As a pioneer in community-engaged learning, CommunityShare provides a unique digital matching platform and programs that activate the wisdom and lived experiences of educators, students, and community members who co-create meaningful real-world learning experiences. When learning is relevant to the aspirations of our students and communities, there are infinite possibilities to collaborate, learn, create, and thrive. CommunityShare partners with school districts/networks, out-of-school organizations, coalitions, and civic agencies to impact tens of thousands of students across the country each year.
CommunityShare’s digital platform is like a human library of regional wisdom, skills and lived experiences. Community partners – such as scientists, artists, entrepreneurs, parents, and organizations – register and create online profiles that indicate the real-world experiences, skills, and resources that they would like to share with educators and students. They serve as in-person and virtual mentors, project collaborators, internship hosts, guest speakers, and more. Partners and educators in PreK-12 schools and in out-of-school learning spaces share collaboration ideas on the platform. The platform is a dynamic and robust tool that makes it easier for educators and community partners to find and connect with each other within their local communities and across CommunityShare’s network.
