About this organization
Mission
Pencil’s mission is linking community resources to Nashville Public Schools to help young people achieve academic success and prepare for life. At Pencil (Public Education Needs Community Involvement & Leadership), we are committed to enriching student success through active and robust community partnerships, most notably as Pencil partners and Academy Pencil partners. We work to determine the needs of the students at each school, and then we provide customized partner opportunities for businesses and other organizations to share their skills with those students to help them achieve success in school and life.
About
Pencil partners and Pencil Academy partners are businesses and organizations committed to student success through organized, coordinated activities that match the unique attributes of each partner with the specific needs of each school or academy. By leveraging our wide network of business contacts and comprehensive knowledge of Nashville schools, Pencil connects businesses and schools in meaningful ways that directly serve metro students. We manage these relationships by facilitating communication, providing activity ideas, supporting volunteer management, and helping the school and partner develop a year-long strategic plan. In addition, Pencil hosts the pencilmein615.org website where schools, partners and individuals log their volunteer hours and in-kind gifts.
