Impact Stories
CommunityShare has connected more than 50,000 students to meaningful, real-world learning experiences across 11 states—and we’re growing.
Our model is delivering measurable impact:
- 98% of educators reported an increase in student engagement and social emotional skills
- 96% of students developed critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills
- 87% of students showed increased career and college readiness
The projects that students, educators, and community partners co-create are as dynamic and diverse as the communities they call home. From hands-on activities to long-term projects, these real-world learning experiences are rooted in big, meaningful questions—like How can we use math to design a sustainable water harvesting system? and Does music make us human?
Through these projects, students deepen their learning and engagement by connecting content to their lived experiences, interests, and aspirations. Educators are energized and supported, discovering powerful ways to turn their communities into classrooms. And community partners discover a renewed sense of purpose and joy as they learn with and from students.
Together, educators, students, and community partners are co-creating learning experiences that build transformative relationships, critical life and work skills, and a sense of agency that extends far beyond the classroom. Take a look at the stories of their impact below.
