Request
How do I request to partner with a school?
- You request the school or schools you want to
partner with and briefly describe how you want to
partner.
- If you are unable to meet an immediate need,
please feel free to suggest additional resources you
are able to provide.
- If you are unsure of what school to partner with,
there’s no need to request a school. ePIE will
automatically find the best match for you.
- You can partner for as little as one hour, one day,
one week, one project or all school year.
- Each partnership request will take up to 5 business
days to review.
What do schools NEED?
Needs differ from school to school. A few examples
of needs are:
- Student and staff awards and incentives
(complimentary product or service)
- Scholarships (tutoring, lessons, programs)
- Donation of funds, supplies or equipment
- Mentoring or tutoring (no experience necessary)
- Guest Speakers
- Reading Buddies (You read to the student or the
student reads to you.)
- Internships for school faculty; job shadowing for
high school students
