Friends of Educational Excellence Partnerships Annual Meeting

Bolgen Vargas		Sandy Parker

Friends of Educational Excellence (FREE) Partnerships helps Rochester students succeed in school by supporting volunteers who tutor students during the school day with the guidance of teachers. Our goal is to enhance the learning environment in Rochester schools by providing enough volunteers to enable every student to achieve academic proficiency. This is an important component of the Rochester Community Coalition's top priority to significantly improve third-grade reading proficiency to dramatically improve Rochester students' educational achievement.

Become a Volunteer Yourself to help a Child Succeed in School

Friends of Educational Excellence (FREE) Partnerships support community partnerships in Rochester public schools to help students succeed in school.  By supporting community organizations partnering with schools, FREE Partnerships helps to build a stronger Rochester, NY community.

FREE Partnerships:

• Helps students succeed in school
• Builds a stronger Rochester community

FREE Partnerships is a collaboration of community organizations that partner with schools to provide in-school volunteers who assist students to succeed in school.  FREE Partnerships provides services to these community organizations so they are more effective and helps to create new community partnerships with schools that have unmet needs.

FREE Partnerships is an official Rochester City School District community partner with a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the District to provide support for city schools.
