Community Partners
In today’s rapidly evolving world, the partnership between community, businesses, and educational institutions has never been more vital. Collaborating with schools like Providence: A Christian Montessori Community not only strengthens the talent funnel by providing students with real-world experiences, but it also fosters a sense of community investment. By nurturing the next generation of leaders, businesses can help ensure that local students are equipped with the skills and values necessary to thrive right here in our community and even in your own companies, as many of our students have been offered positions straight from an internship experience. Together, we can build a brighter future where students contribute positively to the local economy and culture.
Here are some impactful ways businesses can partner with Providence:
- Guest Speaking: Share your expertise and inspire students by speaking about your career journey, industry insights, and the importance of community engagement. Contact us here.
- Off-Campus Expert: Zoom in with a student by appointment so they can ask about your career or other hobbies. Contact us here.
- Hosting Job Shadows and Internships: Provide students with hands-on experiences that allow them to explore potential career paths and develop essential skills in a real-world environment. Sign up here: Letserve.
- Community Service Projects: Collaborate with our students on meaningful service initiatives that give back to the community while fostering a sense of social responsibility among young learners. Contact us here.
To help in any of these ways above for both Providence and other schools, sign up on Letserve and NCNavigator. Both of these are newer platforms that do not automatically notify us of your availability, so please also reach out to us here and let us know, “Our company would love to work with your school to support young people. We have signed up for Letserve and NCNAvigator, please look us up and connect.”
- Become a Donor to the Providence Fund: Support our mission by contributing to the Providence Fund, which empowers our students to find solutions to enhance the educational programs of our school and have meaningful participation in community initiatives.

- Leadership Training Programs: Over the years, we have found that our system of developing leadership among young adults—many of whom previously lacked situational awareness, initiative, and essential professional skills—has transformed them into highly sought-after top talent. We are currently formalizing this system into accredited college classes that can be taken by anyone in the community, including those who may be employed by you. If this is of interest to you, contact us here.
- Creative Partnerships: Explore innovative ways to collaborate, whether through workshops, sponsorships, or other unique initiatives that align with our shared values. Contact us with your ideas here.
- In Good Company: We have already established some wonderful partnerships in our community. Take a look here at just a few of them.
By joining forces, we can create a powerful network of support that not only benefits our students but also strengthens our community as a whole.
