Leadership. By working with the youth, their families, and the
community in tandem, Beacon schools strive for multi-level
impact. Today, Beacons across the country serve more than
180,000 children, youth and adults.
Designed to stay true to their local community with the
ability to adapt for serving the specific needs of their immediate
Beacon population, Beacon Community Schools do all share a
few core characteristics. One requirement is that they’re to be
led by community organizations and are to be based in schools
or public housing facilities. They must use a youth development
approach, build a strategy for interagency collaboration,
programming and partnership, support a broad set of outcomes
for youth, families, and communities, and so on.
When the City of San Pablo was first adopting the Beacon
Community School model, their Community Services
Coordinator engaged in a four-month project to develop
stakeholder interest and ensure that the services will meet the
needs of all of their schools’ children. What they found was that
the Community Schools model works. They found that schools
and partners were actually requesting increased implementation
support, and onsite teams were requesting additional cross-site
learning and collaboration. This immediate success prompted
the city to move forward.
If you’d like to learn more about Beacon and the
Community Schools model, you can visit the national website
at communityschools.com. For a closer look at San Pablo’s
youth services you can head to sanpabloca.gov/893. And for
some details on what the San Francisco Beacon Initiative has
been able to accomplish over the last 20 years, which may show
