Collaborative Partnerships
Praxis School has developed extensive collaborative relationships with governmental and nongovernmental agencies through citywide partnerships. These relationships enhance services to youth and through combined programming, staffing and strategic planning. A collaborative process fuels interdependency, expands, solidifies and maximizes the use of merged community resources, increases organizational synchronicity and helps sustain a cooperative approach to problem solving. All of this ultimately increases the program and service sustainability for youth in Denver.
This collaboratively formed partnership team will seek to:
- Help prepare youth for post-secondary life
- Create responsive and replicable small neighborhood school sites
- Help all parties make related and appropriate budgetary decisions that align with broader, strategic goals that will support youth in Denver
- Identify and recruit community and governmental partners to become investors in this effort
- Create and maintain growth and sustainability plans for programming and services
- Create and evaluate programming that effectively merges education and workforce development within school and community training settings
- Research educational strategies and workforce-related collaborative programming that benefit youth and communities
- Contribute, overall, to the empowerment and well-being of Denver's youth and the City as a whole
Praxis School works with the community college system, area non-profits, youth shelters and family housing projects, and governmental agencies to reach youth in their neighborhoods and to serve them with responsiveness, flexibility and accountability based on research-based education and workforce training models.
