About The Office of Partnerships
-
The Boston Public School's (BPS) Partnerships team works to increase equitable access to funding, in-kind donations, volunteer opportunities, and high quality partnerships across our school district.
Our Mission Statement:
Our vision is that all students and schools will have access to high quality partnerships that nurture their academic, social, and emotional growth, close opportunity gaps, and foster engagement with learning.
We do this by fostering collaborative relationships between school communities, central office departments, industry partners, non-profit and community organizations, educational institutions and faith-based communities that share our vision.
About Development:
Our development work supports the district in bringing philanthropic resources to its 54,000 students, families, teachers and administrators. Our core belief is that equity is at the cornerstone of transforming education. Our work maximizes BPS student outcomes by matching external funding, talent, and time with school needs.
About Partnerships:
Our partnership work strives to provide equitable access to high-quality learning opportunities by vetting and assessing partners for quality, tracking the partner landscape through PartnerBPS.org, implementing the Partnership Fund, and building the capacity of schools, partners, and central office staff to effectively manage partnerships.
