What is a Community School? -A partnership school, bringing every resource from the community together to support student success and family strength. The focus of the Community Schools program of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) is to not only support academic services, but also to integrate healthcare, social services, youth programs, community development and other community engagement opportunities for the betterment of the entire neighborhood to build long term sustainability. AmeriCorps VISTA members will assist in developing Community Schools at close to 30 campuses throughout EPISD. This partnership will enhance the work currently undertaken by various non-profit organizations. AmeriCorps Vista members will build capacity in issues relating to food security, health services, housing, job training, adult education, prevention and recovery programs, child care and afterschool/enrichment programs.
