Every child today is the future of our world tomorrow. To equip them for this future, they must have the resources they need to thrive. The hard truth is that most children don’t have access to resources they need. Oftentimes, a child’s only resource is their school, where it provides education, structure, nutrition, and parental support, but it’s not enough; children and schools need our help.
We have seen how valuable it is for the local community to be involved in enriching schools. That’s where School Connect comes in. We pride ourselves on being matchmakers to allow our local community and our school community find common ground to discuss their needs and find solutions.
Our hope at School Connect is to create a Village, or support system, for all schools nationwide. These Villages work together to provide resources that schools need and allow local organizations to play a part in changing a child’s life. Not only will schools benefit from this partnership, but Villages will too. Giving back will result in positive changes at local organizations, bettering the community as a whole.

School Connect is a nonprofit organization that helps children reach their full potential by building relationships between the community and schools. We are passionate about the next generation flourishing and we believe that collaboration is the key to this becoming a reality. Doing this alone is impossible; it takes all of us working together to make a difference.
