Community Schools

Northside Neighborhood House operates a network of 10 Community Schools that provide wraparound support and high-quality afterschool programming. Through a focus on stability services, educational programming, and family empowerment, our coordinators work to meet the unique needs of students and families while expanding access to essential supports. Our partnership with Hamilton County Schools reflects a long-standing commitment to place-based solutions that promote student achievement, strengthen well-being, and build thriving school communities.
