As neighborhood anchors, community schools serve as hubs that bring together families, educators, and partners to remove barriers to learning and expand opportunities for students. Through this collaborative approach, schools can offer wraparound supports, including mental health and wellness services, access to essential resources, extended learning, and enrichment opportunities.

Arts for Learning serves as a Community Schools Lead Agency in Baltimore, helping ensure that students and families have equitable access to arts-integrated learning and creative enrichment as part of this collaborative support system.
