3) Supporting existing mentoring efforts in the City
All are welcome at our next Task Force Meeting! We'd love to have you join us in our discovery process!!
Opportunities for Involvement
We would like to see the Church of the City partnering with LBUSD, to support the LBUSD's mission for "personal and intellectual success of every student, every day".
In our involvement through the Long Beach Kingdom Causes' Youth Education Task Force and pilot projects, relationships of trust and integrity have been developed with LBUSD. Service opportunities are made available by the LBUSD for local churches to be involved in their adopted school. We see the church as a main stakeholder in the city that has a pool of caring and motivated volunteers. As the Church of the City works together to help LBUSD succeed in their mission, we will also succeed.
Some potential efforts in adopting a school are:
