About Adopt-A-School

How the Adopt-A-School program works:  A company or organization is matched with a school based on the needs of the school and the company’s or organization’s available resources.  A school may have more than one adopter, and any size business or organization can make a difference. 

Activities and programs are planned to support the goals of the school and to positively influence academic achievement.  Some of the activities implemented include pen pal programs, tutoring, mentoring, exploration of higher education and career opportunities, workplace exposure and incentives for academic achievement, attendance and behavior. 

Age group served:  All grade levels, PreK-12, are served through Adopt-A-School partnerships. 

Schools served:  All Fort Worth ISD schools are eligible. 

Time commitment:  The time commitment is flexible, ranging from implementation of annual activities to opportunities for involvement on a weekly or monthly basis.
