Success For Each Child & Eliminate the Opportunity Gap by Leading with Racial Equity

Community Partnerships

The program aims to collaborate with a range of community partners for the 21st CCLC. Specific objectives include:

  • The project will collaborate with at least three community partners in the first year of operation
  • The project will add at least one new partner in each subsequent year of the project*

In 2020-21, the program continued to add new partners, even in this challenging and unprecedented time. Both sites partnered with Environmental Science Center to provide Environmental Science programming and materials. Mill Creek also partnered with Girls on the Run for the first time.
