Faith-Based and Community Organizations: Partners for Stronger Schools - Tuesday, April 17, 2001
Time: 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM ET
Schools and school districts are discovering that faith-based and community-serving organizations can be important allies in supporting students’ learning. With their shared mission of helping children and families, these groups are assisting schools by providing tutoring and mentoring, safe havens for children, afterschool programs, and more. Strong partnerships between schools and faith-based and community serving groups often work best when they are part of a broader collaborative effort that also draws in local agencies, businesses, and family organizations.
U.S. Secretary Paige’s April 17, 2001, Satellite Town Meeting will explore ways that schools can:
- Partner with faith-based and community organizations in ways that honor students’ religious identity, and thus draw on some of the most important institutions in their lives;
- Respect the diverse beliefs, both sacred and secular, of students and their families; and
- Create partnerships that give various faith-based and neighborhood groups a chance to participate.
