The Federation for Community Schools in Chicago, IL is a leading organization dedicated to promoting and sustaining community schools. With a focus on whole-child development and removing nonacademic barriers to student success, the Federation works to improve outcomes and support school improvement strategies under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Through their new paper on braiding funds, they provide guidance on maximizing ESSA's flexibility to support community school development.
As of June 9th, the Federation for Community Schools has joined Children's Home Aid, bringing together two passionate organizations committed to community schools. Despite this transition, the Federation's mission remains unchanged, continuing to promote community schools throughout Illinois, provide professional development support, and advocate for the students and families they serve. With increased resources and partnerships, they aim to expand their network, connect advocacy efforts to a comprehensive vision of success, and maintain existing supports while creating new opportunities for membership engagement and leadership.
