PHENND Fellows: Partner Resource Specialist
 
 
 
In 2013, the School District of Philadelphia’s Office of Strategic Partnerships (“OSP”) was established to improve the way the District and schools engage with the many external organizations that offer programming and services at no cost to the District or schools. The core of our work centers around supporting each school in identifying and leveraging partner support to further their mission and progress towards District goals. We collaborate with schools, District offices and partner organizations to help foster trusting and purposeful relationships that contribute to school communities where students thrive. This project is a part of the PHENND Fellows VISTA program housed at the Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development (PHENND). PHENND is a network of over 25 colleges and universities that strengthens service-learning, civic engagement, and community partnership in Philadelphia.

Member Duties : The goal of this VISTA project it to assist the Office of Strategic Partnerships (OSP) in creating tools and training in identified need areas for both partner programs of the School District of Philadelphia and School teams/staff. In the first year, the VISTA will create a toolbox of resources for partners offering extracurricular programs at schools to ensure all students feel supported and included in partner programming. The VISTA will refine current available partner resources by leading a feedback process to inform needed changes, create action planning templates and other action-oriented tools, and schedule and co-facilitate workshops. The toolbox will include refined guidance documents and FAQs, organizational self assessments, action planning tools, workshop agendas, and other materials. Our office focuses on supporting partners who are serving students living in extreme or high poverty census tracts, have low attendance and have received few partner matches in recent years.
