community partners & donors
It takes a community to support our schools, and we’re grateful to our donors and partners who are helping to advance our work in Greenville County every day.
Building parent leaders
Public Education Partners (PEP) is excited to collaborate with Nicholtown Child and Family Collaborative and the “Brilliant Kids” After School Program as both organizations prepare to launch their own Parent Leadership Partner (PLP) cohorts during the 2026–2027 school year.
The PLP program is designed to equip parents and caregivers with the knowledge, confidence, and tools needed to successfully navigate the school system, build strong school-family partnerships, and become effective advocates for their children’s education.
Throughout the planning process, PEP has been leading the way by guiding both organizations in the development of their cohorts, helping to shape meaningful programming, structure, and engagement opportunities for participating families.

Helping Families Find support
When families can quickly connect to the right resources, children are better positioned to succeed, both in school and in life. In partnership with Greenville First Steps, Public Education Partners is facilitating a collaborative effort to develop an online family support navigation tool that helps service providers in Greenville County connect families with trusted community resources. From food assistance and healthcare to academic support and school transitions, the tool will make it easier to find help when it's needed most.
By strengthening connections between families and the organizations that serve them, we're helping ensure that support is easier to access and no family needs to navigate the system alone. Together with our partners and supporters, we're building a stronger network of care for children across Greenville County.
Supporting PTAS
Public Education Partners is proud to support the revitalization of local PTAs through funding, coaching, and ongoing partnership. With your help, we can continue investing in schools where families are welcomed, engaged, and empowered to make a difference.
