The Coalition for Community Schools works with several organizations that help community school initiatives fine tune their planning and management. The following are our Technical Assistance Partners:
The Children's Aid Society's National Technical Assistance Center for Community Schools (NTA CCS) was created in 1994 as a result of an increased demand for information about the CAS Community Schools model. NTA CCS supports a wide range of strategies for the long-term sustainability of community schools. Training and consulting services are customized to meet the unique needs and strengths of individual communities.

Since 1988, the Yale University Center in Child Development and Social Policy at Yale University has provided technical assistance to schools interested in implementing the School of the 21st Century model.
We provide training workshops on a number of topics. These workshops have been developed to meet the needs of the 21C community, ranging from introductory sessions to detailed work sessions on topics relevant to mature 21C sites. Our presenters include Yale Bush Center staff, 21C consultants, and 21C National Peer trainers.

The Center for Community School Partnerships engages in research, evaluation, and technical assistance to connect schools and communities in ways that support student success, youth well-being, and collaborative community-school partnerships.
Located in the UC Davis School of Education, the Center for Community School Partnerships (CCSP) was established as the Healthy Start Field Office in 1992. During the past decade, CCSP has served over 800 community-school partnership sites across the state of California, and has provided national and international consultation in education reform and collaborative partnership policy.
At the core of our practice is the firm belief that our work be informed by what is happening in the field of community-schools at the national and state levels. An examination of the successes and challenges of people working in community-school partnerships through the national and state policy framework has allowed us to develop practical and workable solutions, many of which are adaptable to other communities and situations.
