AFT Powerful Partnerships Institute

The AFT’s Powerful Partnerships Institute provides $1.5 million of direct assistance to AFT affiliates, parent groups and community organizations to do grass-roots engagement work in local communities focused on helping kids recover and thrive.

This program is a commitment made by the AFT as part of its What Kids and Communities Need campaign—an initiative that focuses on making investments in public schools and communities to make sure students have the essentials they need to recover and thrive. The Powerful Partnerships Institute grants aim to support community engagement by helping parents and teachers find new ways to work together for the benefit of students and neighborhoods.
