Lessons from the Community Schools Movement
Every school is feeling the pressure: rising absenteeism, student mental health concerns, disengagement, and staff burnout. These aren’t just surface-level challenges—they’re signs of deeper, systemic issues that require a whole-child, whole-community approach.
That’s where the Community Schools model provides powerful insights—and WhyTry offers proven, practical tools that schools everywhere can use.
Join us for a free, one-hour panel discussion where we’ll explore how educators and leaders are using the WhyTry Program to build connection, increase motivation, and address the root causes behind student struggles. Whether your school is officially part of a community schools initiative or just looking for meaningful change, you’ll leave with real takeaways.
