School - Community Partnerships

School-based after-school and summer programs offer the potential to activate students' understanding of academic content while enhancing skill development.  School partners can play critical roles in meeting the needs of students while stimulating their interests. 

Through initiatives such as Partners for Student Success, funded over four years by the Wallace Foundation, and the Summer Learning Project, funded over two years by the Opportunity Agenda, Boston Beyond seeks to demonstrate how schools and their partners can enhance student learning so that they gain mastery of both the academic content and social-emotional skills that will bring success in school, work, and life.
