Linking Students & Families to Opportunities & Resources

Community Achieves is an MNPS school initiative, led by the district's Support Services Department, linking students and families to enrichment opportunities and vital community resources. We work closely with partners and volunteers to provide wrap-around services to our students and families.

Our partners bring their expertise and desire to make all the difference in the lives of children and families by providing support for things such as academics, extra-curricular activities, and working with us to remove any barriers to learning.
