Community Partnership

SCHOOL BASED PROGRAMMING

Our School Based Programming works with both students and parents to build healthy communication and parenting skills; promote academic achievement; reduce the potential for substance abuse; provide resources; and encourage all parties to realize their full potential. Funding includes federal, state and local dollars and we have proudly partnered with Springfield Public Schools in their Safe Schools-Healthy Students grant. Staff also work closely with our Caring Communities initiative in the provision of programming.

Community & Capacity Building

At the heart of the Partnership is the belief that facilitating positive change, while building the capacity of organizations, agencies and individuals, will lead to long-term measurable outcomes. Community and capacity building is about using ideas and resources in new ways to strengthen communities and the residents that live there. As good stewards of our ever shrinking federal, state and local resources, we recognize that community and capacity building is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Alcohol, Drug & Violence Prevention

The Partnership's roots lie in violence prevention and efforts to reduce alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse. These problems evolved over decades, and changes in attitudes and behaviors do not happen quickly. Yet, our local and regional programming has made a difference.
