Is your congregation hungry for more meaningful relationships with your neighbors, whether they’re downtown or down the street? Would you like to connect with students and teachers in under-resourced schools in your area? Your congregation can help children reach their full potential and support their right to quality public education by forming a church-school partnership.
All Our Children, National Network is a network of congregations working in partnership with under-resourced public schools. The network’s purpose is to promote, strengthen, and support grassroots church-school partnerships. They do this by sharing tools, materials, and best practices to nurture and support the teams who run individual programs.
For AOC, a partnership is an intentional relationship between a congregation and a school that is recognized by leaders of both institutions. AOC members are those partnerships. Each member partnership is unique. They focus on everything from running in-school & after-school programs, to classroom & teacher support, to leading advocacy coalitions for school budgets and facilities renovations. They currently have 23 partnerships in 9 states are hoping to double their membership by the end of 2015!
