Schools as Community Hubs

Schools as community hubs refer to the idea of using educational institutions as central places that serve the broader needs of local communities beyond just education. This approach encourages schools to offer resources like healthcare, childcare, adult education, and social services, fostering stronger connections between families, local organizations, and residents. By doing so, schools become welcoming centers that support not only students but also improve overall community well-being, promote collaboration, and increase access to essential services, making neighborhoods more resilient and interconnected.
