community partners

We know that community-based organizations play the lead role in assuring the wellbeing of families throughout Duval County. And we also know that when you connect the strategies in the school, family and home environments, students' success is greatly enhanced.  The Department of Community & Family Engagement works alongside a variety of organizations to assist schools in reaching goals and objectives outlined in School Improvement Plans.

Community-based organizations are organized to improve and expand the resources, opportunities and relationships with schools and/or the District to develop and implement a coordinated response to Duval County Public Schools' students and their families.  It promotes collaboration and sharing of resources and information between businesses, faith-based, community groups, schools and parents.

The Department of Community & Family Engagement assesses, maintains and develops relationships with community-based organizations and the District to unite a variety of stakeholders in the common purpose of promoting student success. This office provides technical assistance to existing partners and develops relationships with new agencies to build the collective power of the district, the organizations, and the schools.

… help students and schools achieve academic success by giving of your time, talent and treasures.
