Charlottesville United for Public Education
Charlottesville United for Public Education is a coalition of parents, grandparents, and community members committed to ensuring every child in Charlottesville City Schools receives a quality education. We advocate for student success from preschool to graduation through community engagement, family support and civic participation. As champions united for healthy students and schools, we center community voices and welcome all who are invested in making public education better in Charlottesville.
Families Helping Families
Families Helping Families works to ensure that each child receives what they need to reach their full academic and social potential while removing obstacles to learning in ACPS.
Just before the launch of our fund, Dr. Bernard Hairston, recently retired ACPS Assistant Superintendent shared, “the thinking behind the Families Helping Families initiative originated because of an imbalance in funding support provided by outside agencies school by school. We know that extra resources allow expanded learning opportunities that occur inside and outside the classrooms.
These funds are intended for families and schools to address teaching and learning barriers. The funds will also help meet our equity mission statement. Our goal is to end the predictive value of which students are successful based on their race, social or economic status, and special capacities by creating stronger working relationships with families and communities to ensure each student's success.”

Living Earth School- Kid’s Nature Summer Camps
We have been voted a favorite summer day camp for over 10 years! Your child will spend the week exploring the mountains, streams, and wild places of Charlottesville, Virginia. Campers work together in small groups learning about the natural world, plants, mammals, tracking, birds, wilderness survival, awareness, and so much more. We do this with hands-on activities, games, adventures, and fun challenges. Our instructors are Nature Connection Mentors, guiding campers into experiences that nurture their connection to the earth and allow them to feel at home in the natural world.
