The 2011 Santa Barbara Triathlon beneficiary is Partners in Education. Public education is in trouble. We risk losing the competitive edge that makes our country a leader in the global economy and gives our kids a chance to succeed.
Locally, Partners in Education is the one organization that engages the innovative spirit of the private sector in support of students and schools.
Improving public education depends on the best and brightest among us stepping forward. Partners in Education makes this happen every day, and with support from the Triathlon they will be able to do even more.
Here are just a few examples of the success Partners in Education has achieved in this leadership role.
Thousands of guest speakers have shared about their professional histories and skills at 45 South Santa Barbara County schools.
Hundreds have participated in campus improvement projects and build long-term relationships with specific school sites.
Professionals have mentored thousands of students through mock job interviews, job shadows and internships, better preparing our local workforce.
Hundreds of people worked one-on-one with students as tutors and mentors, helping teachers translate classroom learning into real world outcomes for students.
