Covington Partners Inc

Mentoring and community learning center In partnership with the Covington Independent Schools, community members engage as a positive adult role model to Covington youth through the Organizations Mentoring Program. Mentors can choose to work with students of all ages in a program that meets their interests. Out of School Time programs (after school, morning and summer) provide academic enrichment and skill development opportunities during non-school hours for students, families and neighbors. This program helps students meet state and local academic standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offer students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offer literacy and other educational services to families and neighbors. Each school in the Covington Independent School District provides an Out of School Time program, managed by the sites Community Learning Center (CLC) coordinator.

Mental and physical health The Organization is committed to working with Covington schools to provide a health and wellness initiative that includes mental and physical health and social and emotional wellbeing. Health and wellness are embedded into all programming areas of the Organization. As part of the health and wellness initiative, Pink Link was created to reduce a barrier that some students face every month during their menstrual cycles. This project provides period products for students who cannot afford or do not have access to purchase what they need. Without this support, some students are absent from school each month for several days.
