United Community Schools is a nonprofit organization established in 2012 by the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) with the mission to improve student achievement in low-performing schools by transforming them into community hubs. By facilitating partnerships between schools, non-profits, local businesses, and government agencies, United Community Schools addresses the health, safety, and social service needs of students, parents, and communities.
With a focus on holistically addressing student needs, embedding services in public school buildings, and engaging local businesses and community-based organizations, United Community Schools currently partners with 31 schools in all five boroughs of New York City, serving 20,000 students. Their model emphasizes collaboration among educators, parents, and community members to create a supportive and inclusive school environment.
