Adopt a School
 

Sustainers

While Adopters are paired with a specific school and give support through donated time, expertise, and financial commitments, Sustainers provide the financial support for the overall program. The financial support is necessary for the coordination and administrative function of the entire program.

SUSTAINERS ALLOW THE PROGRAM TO

  • Provide coordinator workshops teaching our partners how to get the most out of their partnerships

  • Maintain educational materials to support partnerships

  • Provide Adopt-A-School Annual Report - a recruitment publication summarizing partnership activities

  • Provide administrative support to the Adopt-A-School program through recruitment and training of new business partners for schools.

  • Coordinate workforce development educational opportunities for school counselors and teachers
