Our department collaborates with partners representing our district, community-based organizations (CBOs) and public agencies. 我们寻求建立新的、改进的与各部门合作伙伴的合作方式，以便我们能够在为青年服务的共同工作中找到一致性，并共同努力为伙伴关系的蓬勃发展提供适当的支持.

我们部门致力于创造和提供支持，以建立学校和社区组织有效和真正的合作伙伴的能力. We also work to create connections between Seattle Public Schools (SPS) departments and partners, especially to promote alignment with district priorities and key initiatives. 为了了解丰富的专业学习机会，我们的部门和合作伙伴共同为社区组织组织, visit our Professional Development page.

In order to support consistent, high-quality partnerships, our office is engaged in building and improving partnership onboarding processes, establishing key partnership tools and processes, and providing technical assistance. In addition, we will build systems to better match schools and partners, to support principals to effectively select partners that will meet their students’ needs, and to support both schools and community-based organizations to align services and work through challenges.

我们的部门寻求建立一致的和可访问的系统，以收集来自cbo的反馈，这些反馈以有色人种学生为中心，远离教育公正, as well as centering Black-led and culturally-responsive CBOs to inform partnership models, approaches and supports for schools and partnering organizations.

这项倡议旨在以创新的方式解决和结束我们社区普遍存在的几代人贫困循环. Together, 我们专注于改善低收入儿童和青年的教育成果，作为支持家庭和加强我们更广泛社区的一项战略.

School Connect Washington was started in 2022, 在西雅图华人联合教会与迪尔伯恩公园国际小学长期合作的基础上. This partnership currently focuses on after school programming, creating a safe space where students get 1:1 tutoring combined with a place to be kids and have fun. School Connect WA accommodate for learning at all levels and skills, and partners with Dearborn Park staff to develop specific learning plans for each student in the program. As a result, Dearborn Park staff celebrated student participants tremendous academic growth, but increases in confidence, engagement and love of learning.

School Connect WA has laid a strong foundation of partnership, and that wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration and support from school administrators and teachers. 学校连接西澳付出了巨大的努力，使他们的节目与迪尔伯恩公园工作人员在上学期间组织的小型干预小组保持一致. This includes regular planning conversations with school staff and weekly check ins. 这种有意的合作使他们的课后指导对学生在课堂上的成功产生了重大影响.

Wrote one parent of a student in the program: “She is now above her grade level and is thriving in school. She LOVES learning and her favorite subject is math. 我可以自信地说，学校连接西澳对缩小我的两个孩子的学业差距有直接的影响。”.

来自敖德萨布朗儿童诊所(OBCC)的校本健康中心以无数的方式为洛厄尔小学的学生和家庭提供医疗支持, dental, mental health, and basic needs. Lowell administration and staff and OBCC collaborate closely across multiple support teams, 包括家庭参与委员会和社会情感学习团队，以确保所有学生都能免费获得所需的服务，并尽量减少对学习的干扰. As a part of OBCC’s commitment to an integrated school partnership, the OBCC clinic is present at many school events to increase visibility and alignment, and to build meaningful family connections. Additionally, the OBCC health center provides services like telehealth, language interpretation, and vaccine clinics to further help remove barriers for families.

OBCC’s commitment to ensuring access to services for students and families and supports an increase in student health, wellness, and school engagement. Midway through the 2022-23 school year, the OBCC clinic had approximately 30 students enrolled in the clinic. This year, as a result the relentless outreach of OBCC staff and school partnership alignment, there are now 200 students enrolled. OBCC的工作人员也发挥了关键作用，帮助确保没有学生因疫苗接种要求而被排除在外.

The clinic coordinator shared, “As I sit at my desk in the clinic, I get kids waving hello, 其他学生带着通行证来到诊所——他们只是需要休息一下，他们要求在诊所里坐一会儿来减压. Our custodian bestows upon me gifts of homemade baked goods. Our conference room is used by the nurse for hearing checks, the social worker for groups, and everything in between… All of this tells me that we are part of the community, the larger school community, and all the work we are doing is paying off.”

We are thankful for this powerful partnership. Thank you, Lowell Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic and School Based Health Center!

邻里之家今年与霍桑小学合作，为家庭提供了一个由多个部分组成的研讨会，名为“指导好的选择”. This workshop is an effective evidence-based parenting skills workshop developed by the University of Washington. It has been shown to increase parent and youth communication, supporting families with setting clear guidelines and rules, building strong relationships, and supporting healthy choices with their kids.

Hawthorne sought out this partnership in response to families asking for more tools to support their youth. The workshop consisted of 5 sessions, once a week for 5 weeks. 这次研讨会如此成功的部分原因是多个合作伙伴之间的协调，以帮助消除参与的障碍. Workshops were held in both English and Spanish, dinner was provided by Neighborhood House, and childcare was coordinated by the PTA and provided by another wonderful partner, Launch. This excellent collaboration ensured that family turnout was high, 来自家庭的反馈是，他们重视这个支持性的空间来分享挑战，讨论他们可以用来应对这些挑战的工具和策略.

这种伙伴关系是霍桑员工倾听家庭需求并与邻里之家这样值得信赖的组织合作来帮助解决这些需求的一个很好的例子. Thank you Neighborhood House! Visit http://www.sespeacecoalition.org/gcc to learn more about Guiding Good Choices.
