Community and Partners

What's Happening 


Partnering with the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, we've posted a new K-12 curriculum, professional development opportunities, and counseling resources for schools and families to discuss the events of 9/11 with their students.
•  The Fund for Public Schools and the New York City Mentoring Program Honor the 2012 Mentor and Mentee of the Year

•  Request for Listing: We're looking for organizations to work with Black and Latino male students in our high schools

•  Learn how to get involved and donate to NYC public schools




Organizations play a vital role in our communities and neighborhoods, collaborating with hundreds of  public schools across the five boroughs to positively impact student achievement and enrich school experiences. We deeply value these partnerships for the wealth of resources and assets that they bring to classrooms. 


Office of School Programs and Partnerships

While many schools engage in local partnerships suited to their communities, the Office of School Programs and Partnerships (OSPP) acts as a clearinghouse to familiarize and orient new and existing partners in the community to the Chancellor's priorities and processes.

OSPP facilitates matching between partners and schools that are in need of support, navigating  procurement and contracts protocols, and ensuring that partner efforts are impacting student achievement through research, evaluation, and data sharing. 

 

Partner-School Matching
Understanding the unique needs of each school, the Office of School Programs and Partnerships strategically matches the right partners and community-based organizations with the right schools. Interested in partnering with our schools and communicating opportunities to schools?

Research, Evaluation, and Data
The Research and Policy Support Group (RPSG) allows external researchers and partners to collect data on students and conduct studies in schools, while always ensuring that research does not compromise privacy or work.
