The City Build Program is a joint education and neighborhood development initiative that promotes community revitalization with a particular emphasis on strengthening public education, through public charter schools.  The aim of City Build stretches beyond excellence in academics; it also focuses on encouraging the creation of partnerships between public charter schools and community organizations.  Eligible parties can apply for $1,000,000 in grant funds. 

Community Schools
A community school is designed to serve the residents of a particular neighborhood.  The school is open to students, families, and residents of the community before – and – after school.  The school may provide such programs as family literacy, adult education, and health and well being.  Community schools become the center of the community and are accessible to all members of the community throughout the year.
