UCF CPNM Homeless Education - SCPS
 
 
 
The UCF Center for Public and Nonprofit Management (CPNM) aspires to strengthen communities by helping small and midsize public and nonprofit organizations with training, technical assistance, and evaluation. The UCF CPNM has successfully supported 10 major capacity building projects positively impacting over 200 nonprofit organizations and the Central Florida community. The UCF CPNM is entering Year Three of its project to address the education needs of families in transition in Central Florida. This previous school year, there were more than 2,200 homeless students in Seminole County Public Schools (seminolehomelesskids.org). Despite the improving economy, the student homeless population, and the need to expand the capacity of service organizations in Seminole County, continues to grow. Nonprofits are increasingly addressing the growing community needs and require the dedication from community partners to support these efforts. CPNM VISTAs have the opportunity to serve the homeless children population by incorporating strategies to foster resilient communities. Intensive orientation and ongoing training will prepare the VISTAs to become leaders in five critical areas of capacity building: organizational, program, and leadership development, collaboration and community engagement, and evaluation of effectiveness. VISTAs provide focused, in-depth technical assistance in the internal management systems of strategic planning, financial management, and policies and procedures, and customized technical assistance, to community organizations. Organizations receiving technical assistance will demonstrate an enhanced ability to provide social services, increased effectiveness, sustainability, and creation of collaborations to ensure homeless children and youths have access to the education and additional services and opportunities in order to meet the same challenging academic achievement standards of all students in Florida.
