United Way of the Bay Area – Community Schools Initiative

United Way’s Community Schools initiative transforms public schools into neighborhood hubs that bring healthcare, food pantries, after-school programs, family engagement and parent education classes directly to school campuses.  This is a two-generation approach to cutting poverty, and has a positive impact on academic achievement, attendance rates, and parental participation.  When kids do better in school, they can get better jobs, are less likely to use taxpayer-funded services, and spend more money in our communities.

Resources for Local Officials on Joint Use of Facilities

Several organizations provide joint use of facilities resources to local officials. Much of this work has been motivated by public health goals of enabling both children and adults to be more physically active by joint use of school/recreational facilities. Irrespective of an agency’s policy goals in pursuing joint use of facilities, these resources offer helpful guidance to local officials on joint use issues.
