The National Center for Community Schools at Children’s Aid presents the Community Schools Fundamentals Conference, a seminar designed specifically for those new or relatively new to community schools. At the Fundamentals Conference, we'll share our lessons learned from over 25 years of implementation in New York City and nationwide capacity building.
