Services & Projects

School & Main Institute creates powerful professional development and technical assistance programs that help community members mobilize to effectively support youth.  We work with a wide variety of local and national clients: community groups, school systems, employers, state and federal agencies, and others.

Our support comes in many forms:

  • Facilitated Meetings
  • Coalition and Partnership Strategic Planning
  • Community or State-Wide Mobilization
  • Skill-Building Workshops
  • Partnership Development Programs
  • Regional and National Institutes
  • Summits and Forums
  • Needs Assessment and Asset Mapping
  • Individual and Team Coaching
Not matter what the form, you'll quickly experience what sets School & Main apart:
  • Proven partnership development methodologies
  • Nationally recognized expertise with public-private sector collaboration
  • Intensive, high-quality training formats
  • Profound commitment to personal and community capacity building
  • Keen focus on results - collaboration as more than "proposal partnerships" and meetings!
Contact us to discuss your initiative and needs.


From boardrooms to
classrooms, School & Main strategies work.

School & Main staff, some of the most capable professionals with whom I have worked, are action- oriented and well-grounded in how schools operate. Over the years, they have helped our community design and carry out educational reform strategies which draw on the strengths of every partner at the table.
