“Giving time is really important. Teachers have a lot that they’re managing and the more space we can give them to do those things, the better supported our students will be.”

Partnership Levels
HOME Partner
Work directly with school leadership to define and address the needs set within a particular building. Businesses choose their level of commitment and build a strong presence within their home location. Any needs the business is not able to meet would then be addressed in community partnerships.
COMMUNITY Partner
Working together as a community to address needs that may not be able to be met by the home partner organization alone. This effort may be pooling together to help one school or with items that are district wide. These needs will be funneled through the Chamber and may be immediate or ongoing items.
EDUCATION Partner
Sharing your knowledge, talents, and resources to help build a stronger educational experience. This level of participation may include job shadows, company tours, classroom presentations, teacher development, curriculum input, etc. across the district.
