At the Office of Community Partnerships, we believe that it takes a community to create success. By connecting schools with businesses, organizations, and volunteers, we help build the strong foundation that every student needs to excel. Through dynamic and meaningful partnerships, we provide schools with the tools, support, and opportunities to help students thrive academically, socially, and personally. We aim to ensure that every student has access to the tools, support, and opportunities necessary to achieve their full potential. Whether it’s through community volunteers, business partnerships, or resource donations, we are committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of students.
Our vision is to cultivate dynamic partnerships that elevate educational success and expand opportunities for every student in Prince George’s County.
Our mission is to connect schools with the resources and partnerships needed to drive innovation, inspire excellence, and enrich the overall educational experience.
We lead a variety of initiatives that connect our schools and students with the resources they need:

Volunteer Programs: Community members contribute their time and talents to enhance the educational experience for students. Each school has a dedicated coordinator to manage volunteer efforts and ensure a smooth, effective process.
Back-to-School Supply Drive: An annual event where the community comes together to provide backpacks and supplies to students in need.
