Become a WCPS Partner in Education

GOLDSBORO — Since 1995, the Wayne County Public Schools Partners In Education program has allowed businesses and organizations to make significant contributions to the school division by donating time, expertise, materials and funds.

Partners in Education is a cooperative agreement between a business or an organization with a school or schools. The partnership is a two-way street. The community partner contributes to the welfare of the school, its students and its staff. Typical areas of service include dedicating time, materials and financial resources to benefit the school. Schools also contribute by providing the talents of students and staff to give their partner recognition and other services.

Partners In Education recognize the important role they have in our schools. WCPS is grateful for the priceless contributions they make to students and staff members. Each spring, the district recognizes an outstanding volunteer, as well as a Partner In Education who goes above and beyond to support a school.

Research shows that partnerships foster a better understanding of the school system and its programs, improve quality of life and community stability and extend learning opportunities for all.

All types of businesses can participate. Examples include utility companies, production plants, banks, restaurants, real estate agencies and retail stores.

Civic clubs and other service and volunteer organizations as well as faith-based organizations are also welcome to become partners.
