City & School Synergy Program

STAKEHOLDERS

• STUDENTS: As the direct participants and primary beneficiaries, students are at the core of the program. Their engagement, learning, and long-term civic habits are the ultimate measure of the program's success.
   
• THE SCHOOL DISTRICT: The district's support is essential for the program's existence and sustainability. They provide the classroom structure, access to student cohorts, teacher support, and integration into the curriculum. Without their commitment, the program cannot operate.
   
• THE CITY OF FULTON: The city is a critical partner, providing the physical spaces for the projects (North Bay Campground, Canal Landing), offering guidance on urban planning, and granting the necessary permissions. The success of the projects hinges on their collaboration and support.
   
• COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND RESIDENTS: This group is the ultimate end-user and beneficiary of the program's efforts. Their feedback and support are vital for identifying needs, ensuring projects are relevant, and validating the positive impact of the students' work.
   
• LOCAL BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS: Businesses in or near the adopted areas may be affected by the projects. They could also be potential partners, offering mentorship, materials, or financial support.
