Gulfstream Community Partnership School
In 2019, United Way of Broward County joined five other community organizations to create a Community Partnership School at two Broward County Public Schools in Hallandale Beach: Gulfstream Academy of Hallandale Beach K-8 and Gulfstream Early Learning Center, with a primary focus on Gulfstream Academy. A Community Partnership School is a school model created by the University of Central Florida that leverages the social and institutional capital of community partners to offer resources and services that address the socio-academic needs of students. With funding from the state legislature, United Way of Broward County and five core partners focus on meeting the immediate and long-term needs and goals of Gulfstream students, their families and the Hallandale Beach community. Currently in its first year of implementation, the Community Partnership School at Gulfstream will integrate health and wellness programs; expand student's access to tutoring, leadership programs and academic enrichment activities; and provide educational and social supports to families that empowers them to pursue success.
Our five core partners in this initiative are Broward County Public Schools, Broward College, Memorial Healthcare System, Hispanic Unity of Florida and the Early Learning Coalition of Broward.
If you want to contribute to our Community Partnership School or have any questions, please contact the Community Partnership School Manager, Megan Beddow at mbeddow@UnitedWayBroward.org or 954.308.9282.
