The Coalition for Community Schools partnerered with the Netter Center for Community Partnerships to convene a diverse group of stakeholders committed to better results for young people across the nation.
The 2010 National Forum reached out to a broad audience of policymakers, administrators, and practitioners from community schools, charter schools, and other sites who want to learn how to integrate school and community assets to support student success. The audience included those in education, youth development, health and human services, family services and supports, neighborhood and community development, business, government, philanthropy, higher education, and related fields. The 2010 National Forum drew close to 1,100 participants on site and over 100 participants through live streaming of the main plenary sessions!
"We need a new vision for a 21st century education system—one where we aren’t just supporting existing schools, but spurring innovation; where we’re not just investing more money, but demanding more reform…" – U.S. Secretary Arne Duncan
