Family Education & Engagement

ABOUT THE FACE MOBILE

The FACE Mobile travels across our San Juan Unified district each week, visiting schools and local community spaces to provide families access to technology, free Wi-Fi, educational resources, free culturally relevant books, emergency food and diaper support, information about district and community supports, volunteer registration, employment opportunities, enrollment support, and so much more!

PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY

San Juan Unified School District’s Family and Community Engagement team is piloting a monthly FACE Mobile sponsorship opportunity for a select group of our community partners that support similar family initiatives found within our FACE Mobile. Currently, we are piloting this sponsorship opportunity with our San Juan Unified partners who focus on providing family and school support around STEAM initiatives and culturally responsive family engagement.

SPONSORSHIP BENEFIT

Supporting the district’s efforts to build strong partnerships between families, schools, and local communities, while helping to increase access and opportunity to our families, can greatly benefit your organization! Becoming a FACE Mobile Sponsor of the Month will provide your organization an opportunity to connect with families all across our district, inform them of the resources your organization provides, and receive exposure to a large number of district staff, families, students, organizations, and community members– all while highlighting your commitment and dedication to serving our San Juan Unified community!

SPONSORSHIP PACKAGE
