Off-Campus Resource

More off-campus resources need to develop direct channels to connect to schools and students.

Feedback from Community

Share Information

Information between community resources and high schools lacks transparency, publicity, and intercommunication.

Improve Advertising

Community institutions have limited budgets for advertising their services and activities.

Future-Readiness

The community can provide real-world focused activities and resources which are helpful for student’s future career development.

Create Platform 

Students could execute their subjective initiative and absorb nutrients from the community platform to enrich their interests.
