Coalition for Community Schools









	SUPPORT IEL

The Coalition for Community Schools (CCS) works to improve education and help students learn and grow while supporting and strengthening their families and communities. Community schools bring together many partners to offer a range of supports and opportunities to children, youth, families and communities -- before, during and after school, seven days a week. CCS' mission is to mobilize the resources and capacity of multiple sectors and institutions to create a united movement for community schools by:

sharing information about successful community school policies, programs and practices;
building broader public understanding and support for community schools;
informing public- and private-sector policies to strengthen community schools; and
developing sustainable sources of funding for community schools.
