Thurston Together!

Together! advances the health and well being of all young people by using public schools as hubs. The Community Schools Initiative brings community-based organizations and public services together to offer a coordinated range of support and opportunities to children, youth and families, including before and after school and summer enrichment and academic support programs as well as housing support.

Partners work to achieve shared results: Children enter school ready; students attend school regularly; students are engaged in school and the community; families are involved with their children's education; and students succeed academically; students are healthy - physically, socially, and emotionally.

  • Prevention - Help for students and families to make healthy choices.
