View our Onboarding Guide for Policies and Procedures:

If your program matches our definition of what it means to be a partner and you are interested in establishing a new partnership with one or more District schools, you will find information on this page that will help you begin to plan out your next steps.  The Onboarding Guide, which contains information about relevant policies and procedures, is a great place to start.

Complete our Partner Expansion/School Match Form:

Once you have had a chance to review the Onboarding Guide, and you have confirmed that you have the capacity to operate in District schools (i.e. have already secured funding/resources), please let us know by completing our Partner Expansion/School Match Form. Our office is willing and able to help you identify potential partner schools and help you connect with those schools.
