Our community partners represent a remarkable array of organizations dedicated to enriching the lives of our students and families. They strengthen our community by providing expertise, services, and resources, often focused on specific needs and/or populations. Manchester Proud and the Compass help to align their work, reduce gaps and overlaps, and promote community awareness and access.
Business partners are the drivers of Manchester’s thriving economy. They are also an essential source of career awareness and job opportunities. The resources and hands-on participation of our business partners help ensure our schools’ relevance in the 21st century. Their partnerships inspire our students and families to explore, pursue, and achieve their greatest potential.
Partners are individuals or organizations that provide services, programs, or financial/material resources to support students, families, or teachers who are either school-based or school-linked.
