Make A Difference
Why Connect to a School?
The reality in Arizona, and across the Nation, is that a disproportionate number of children do not have access to resources they need. Oftentimes, a child’s only resource is their school, where they connect to education, structure, food/nutrition, clothing, transportation, belonging and adult/mentor support. Connect to a school to make a difference!
What is at risk for our 1.1 million, K-12 students?

Target YOUR Support!
Because there is a school in EVERY neighborhood, targeted school support can impact outcomes for children in every neighborhood of Arizona. School Connect rallies community stakeholders around local schools from business, nonprofit, faith-based, and community/civic groups to leverage the assets of the community. By working together, we can change the future of Arizona!
