Join-a-School

Partnering APS Schools with Businesses and Community Groups Since 1984

Join a School volunteers

The APS Education Foundation/Join-a-School Business Partnerships Program has over 200 business and community groups working in a partnership relationship to benefit individual schools, APS departments, and the district at large. Many partners support multiple schools. In addition to serving as a conduit for community resources coming in to APS, JAS helps facilitate the initial partnership development when possible.  The JAS program fosters reciprocity, which promotes recognition and appreciation for the business or community group from individual school partners and the district at large.  Join-a-School is a "handshake, not a hand out."

Partnerships are unique to the needs and resources of both the school and business partner.  Schools and JAS partners work in tandem to determine the goal of the partnership and to create opportunities for involvement and interaction.  Partnerships support academic achievement, school improvement, career awareness, the school EPSS (Educational Plan for Student Success) and standards-based education, student and staff recognition, and other mutually developed goals.
