Community Partners

We are part of a vibrant community of partners.

We are committed to cultivating engagement in our local community, being a good neighbor in Jackson Square, building community partnerships to recruit students who would benefit from our programming, and creating an ecosystem of student support services with like-minded organizations. 

  • Wraparound Support: We continue to develop and strengthen key relationships with community-based organizations who provide holistic, wraparound services for students and their families in key areas: Housing, Nutrition, Mental Health, for example. 
  • Community-based student Recruitment: We work with social service organizations and other youth-serving nonprofits and initiatives to recruit students to participate in TPZ’s programs. 
  • Community Ecosystem: We continue to cultivate and deepen relationships with mission-aligned organizations across various sectors: small businesses, neighborhood coalitions, our network of innovation center users, and more, to develop a network of organizations that will collaborate with TPZ to advance economic equity for students in both the short- and long-term.

TPZ was proud to host the Girls’ Entrepreneurship Summit two years in a row with our partners at the chica project, Center for Women & Enterprise, and Love Your Magic. Dozens of teenage girls explored entrepreneurship, met women business owners, and laid the foundation for putting their dreams into action.

The Possible Zone celebrated our many collaborative relationships in 2023 and recognized four of our Partners during an Appreciation Reception in late November. Those highlighted were Yvonne Spicer, Executive Director of Life Science Cares; Estefany Benitez, Program Manager at the Sasaki Foundation; Warren Williams, Executive Director of Three Squares Main Street; and Riana Smith on behalf of Converse.
