Nashville School of Excellence Engages Parents Through Community Outreach

Nashville School of Excellence engaged parents through community outreach events across Nashville over several months, introducing its STEM-focused educational model.

Connecting With Nashville Families Through Community Outreach Events

The outreach initiative involved staff and volunteers attending local festivals, community events, cultural days, and churches throughout Nashville. Team members met parents directly to present the school’s mission and vision while listening to what families look for in children’s education.

Volunteers drove the on-the-ground engagement across Nashville neighborhoods. Their time and energy allowed the school to introduce its educational opportunities to diverse communities.

Titans Together Program Expansion in Middle Tennessee

In a separate community outreach effort across the region, the Tennessee Titans expanded their Titans Together volunteer program to 19 events last year, impacting more than 225,000 people with over 1,100 volunteers. Josh Corey, Vice President of Cause Marketing for the Titans, stated that the program started about five years ago with about six events.

Titans employees participate in at least one volunteer activity a month to serve families in need. Some service opportunities are open to fans, connecting team staff with the public.

Partnerships With United Way and Hands On Nashville

Community partners now approach the Titans directly in search of volunteers. The organization works closely with United Way and Hands On Nashville.

Titans Together was really born out of a need for us to really amplify part of our mission, and that’s to serve the community that’s a cornerstone of the Titans mission here, and we wanted a way that was really unique to bring our staff and fans together at different opportunities to go out and serve the community

Mary Martin, Hands On Nashville Associate Director of Development, noted that Hands On partners with over 200 nonprofits across middle Tennessee. Past projects include storm damage clean ups, meal packing, and building an outdoor classroom at Wright Middle School, a Metro Nashville public school.
