Village Builder
The Village Builder Project strategically expanded Full Service Community School sites in 2022-2023, and reinforced the Community School model pillars in Elementary and Secondary Schools with two transformative project positions: Village Builders and Student Engagement Specialists. This was one of our ATSI support and prevention strategies.
The Village Builders reinforced early literacy and SEL support in strategic classrooms. The Student Engagement Specialists provided strategic intervention support for students and enhanced family and community partnerships for schools. These efforts have improved attendance, reduced behavior incidents, strengthened family engagement, and expanded co-curricular participation.
