Community Partners and Funders

Community partners and funders play a crucial role in the provision of programs and opportunities for Vancouver students. Community School Teams have developed and maintained 226 distinct partnerships with multiple relationships within each partnership across the 12 hubs.
The type of support that community partners provide varies greatly from hub to hub. Usually support comes in the form of staffing, program supplies, access to facility space, volunteer procurement, use of equipment and direct funding. Without this kind of support from our partners, CST would not be able to offer the breadth nor depth of services currently offered.
