Community Partnerships
Kent Community Success collaborates with community partners to implement their programming. The program also collaborates closely with the school and includes school-day teachers and other staff among Kent Community Success staff.
In 2024-25, Neely-O’Brien and River Ridge met the Kent Community Success program objective for community partnerships: each 21st CCLC program site to add one partnership each year that reflects the population(s) served at each school. River Ridge partnered with four other community partners (three of which were new in 2024-25), Neely-O’Brien partnered with one new community partner, and Mill Creek did not add any new partners, but continued partnerships with Kent Parks and Recreation and Kent School District. See Table 4.
