CEJ Recognized for Community Schools Advocacy Efforts

The Coalition for Community Schools has awarded CEJ with the Community School Family and Community Advocate Award for our efforts to mobilize and expand community schools. CEJ is recognized as being, “instrumental in the creation of a sustainable community school strategy in New York City. By bringing the critical voice of families and community residents into conversation, CEJ has helped community schools efforts to have a greater impact on the lives of young people and their families and communities. They continue to strengthen the capacity for authentic family and community engagement in community schools and keep the focus on better learning and outcomes for children. CEJ drove the passage of the community schools policy at the New York City Department of Education, a landmark policy for New York City and other large cities.” We are honored to accept this award at the Community Schools National Forum, taking place April 6-8 in Albuquerque, NM.
