Goal: Hear from all community members (educational partners) to better understand the needs, wants, and assets of the community as a whole. 

Purpose: Identify the most important areas of growth/need in the community to form working groups of interested educational partners who can engage in direct action and allocate resources to address the prioritized need. 

Process: Engage in a series of focus groups as well as surveys and one-on-one conversations to ensure multiple data points are garnered from all stakeholders (students, parents, staff/teachers, and community partners) regarding their chief concerns for the community as well as highlight actions that they may be willing to take within the community schools work.

• See each educational partner page for a more detailed outline of the process for each group.
