The Houston ISD Community Partnerships Department works to identify, develop, engage, and maximize external resources to support schools, students, and their families.

Community Partnerships will help you connect with opportunities to partner, volunteer, and/or donate to the District with the goal of increasing student achievement. Our team will work with you to get engaged in one of our existing programs or to create a unique opportunity.

To learn more about the work we are doing and how you can become involved, we invite you to explore our website!
