SCHOOL RESOURCES

School Partners Program

The School Partners Program cultivates, nurtures and sustains partnerships between DPS schools and the Denver community. The program creates tailor-made partnerships between schools and businesses/community organizations. School partners provide volunteer time, in-kind contributions and financial resources to meet the specific needs of their school. There are currently more than 75 businesses and organizations partnering with DPS schools. Read more about the program on the School Partners Program website.

How can DPS schools get involved in the program?

Denver schools have diverse and specific needs that businesses and community organizations can fill. Through the management of the School Partners Program, the Denver Public Schools Foundation plays a coordinating role in connecting the resources and interests of local businesses with the specific needs of individual schools. The School Partners Program team helps ensure the success of every partnership by helping with planning, logistics, coordination and relationship management. Whether you have an existing School Partner or are looking to get involved in the program, we can help establish and maximize a lasting, meaningful partnership that will benefit your students and your school. Please contact Nicole Capage-Brown at ncapage-brown@dpsfoundation.org or 720.423.3553 to learn more!
