Our Mission
The mission of the Middle School Success Program is to provide academic, social and health support to middle school students in need to prepare them to transition to high school performing at grade level and on track to succeed.
To accomplish this mission, we will:
- Collaborate with numerous nonprofit organizations that provide comprehensive and coordinated services in targeted schools in each of the regions we serve.
About
United Way NCA’s Middle School Success Program uses a Community Schools model.
Middle School Success programs in Community Schools identify resources that connect home, school and community in ways that make student success possible. By supporting both academic and non-academic learning, Community Schools teach the whole child and encourage their social, emotional, physical and academic growth. Furthermore, parents and families are brought into the school in a way that centers the needs of the whole family and welcomes them as active agents in their children’s achievement.
Using a Community School model, we collaborate with best-in-class nonprofit organizations that convene the partners and services within local middle schools to address the academic and non-academic needs of ALICE students and their families. These services include providing health and dental care, tutoring, enrichment programs, physical fitness activities, parental engagement activities (such as housing counseling and other economic services) and much more.
Each Community School has a Community School Coordinator who develops partnerships with local community organizations to create an environment where academics, enrichment, health and social supports, family engagement, youth and community development improve students’ well-being.
