Community + Schools = Student Success

Our Goal

Prepare all Bend-La Pine Schools graduates with the skills and experiences they will need to succeed in college and the workplace. Our community has the means to open up a world of career options to local youth. The Bend-La Pine school district works hard to provide opportunities for our students, but we need your help. Many teens can not visualize the connection between the classroom and their future plans. Your willingness to provide enrichment in the classroom and/or your workplace bridges the gap fostering curiosity and investigation in career pathways that might otherwise be missed.

Making A Difference

When students see that what they are learning is relevant to their future, they are more engaged and successful in school. By providing them with real world experiences in the community, you make their lessons come alive. You can inspire and motivate the next generation of business leaders by joining the School-to-Career Partnership today. You can help by volunteering in any of the following areas:

Work-Based Learning	Field Experiences	Guest Speaking
Volunteer Work	Job Shadows	Mock Interviews
Internships	Mentorships	Site Tours
