Education in Waltham - A Turning Point 

Please join us in our work to transform the lives of the children and teens in Waltham by attending the Waltham Partnership for Youth's 2017 Linking Education and Business Breakfast.  

Education in Waltham is changing. We are moving toward a more student-centered, project-based approach. To be successful, we need community partners and local businesses to join with us to offer experiential, interdisciplinary learning opportunities for students. Come learn how you can play an integral role in the changing landscape of education in Waltham!

As a corporate sponsor of the annual breakfast, attended by more than 200 community leaders and partners, your company will receive significant recognition for your commitment to the Waltham Partnership for Youth’s vigorous efforts to provide the city’s youth with the resources and opportunities they need to achieve success. 

Your support has an immediate impact:

• Your investment will be put to use right way to support thousands of Waltham’s children through notable WPY programs like the Annual Mayoral Youth Summit entitled Amplify, Using Student Voice to Make a Stronger Waltham; after-school programming; and the Waltham Youth and Community Coalition, working to reduce substance use among teens.
• Your support helps WPY continue to play a convening role in bringing community leaders together to close achievement gaps in the city’s schools, expand internships for High School students, and activate more experiential learning opportunities in the city.

This year, we are offering several sponsorship packages to our valued community partners, and hope you will consider joining us for this important event.  Please complete the enclosed form to let us know how you would like to participate.

Many thanks to our growing list of sponsors!
