| The Stakeholders Collaboration to Improve Student Health is a dynamic network of nearly 300 organizations and 700 individuals working to support healthier young people in Chicago. The Collaboration is partnering with Chicago Public Schools to overcome barriers to healthy learners by coordinating health-related programs and services to schools and addressing systems issues and policies. The Stakeholders Collaboration was established in 2003 with the following goals: - Form a stronger partnership with Chicago Public Schools to help deliver programs and services.
- Have staff from diverse nonprofit health organizations meet as peers to share strengths and overcome obstacles.
- Create a stronger network of nonprofit organizations that emerges to tackle issues beyond those affecting their work in the schools.
The Collaboration includes a wide variety of organizations and individuals, from those delivering medical services to those educating students on disease prevention and safety, from community foundations to teachers and administrators who all wish to contribute to improved student health.
