Support for Students Experiencing Homelessness

The City of Manchester Health Department (MHD) has partnered with the Manchester School District to provide an experienced Community Health Worker to assist students/families experiencing homelessness with basic needs. The CHW can connect students/families to medical, dental, and vision providers; help them secure health insurance; assist them in completing applications or determining eligibility for Medicaid, WIC/Food Stamps, fuel/rental assistance, and other financial assistance; and connect
them to resources for food, clothing, housing, and other basic needs and social supports.

Jumuiya ya Shule za Jumuiya ya Manchester

The Manchester Community Schools Consortium is a partnership between three lead agencies – the Manchester School District (MSD), Manchester Health Department (MHD), and Amoskeag Health–as well as multiple community partners. For ten years, the Consortium has leveraged national and local resources to strengthen program efforts in all Manchester’s public schools. The Consortium has helped to transform
these schools into neighborhood hubs, strengthening linkages between the school and community to improve student achievement systematically, increase family and neighborhood engagement, and improve student behavior and youth development.

Manchester Health Department Dental Care Program

The City of Manchester Health Department works with the Manchester School District to bring dental care to children in need at Manchester’s elementary, middle, and high schools. Dental care is provided on a dental van at each school during school hours by a certified Public Health Dental Hygienist and, when needed, a licensed dentist. Students can also be referred to local dental offices for ongoing dental care. The program serves an average of 600 students each school year at all 21 Manchester public schools.

ANZA

YMCA START ni msingi wa utafiti baada ya programu ya shule inayowahudumia wanafunzi 125 wa kipato cha chini kutoka Henry Wilson na Shule za Mtaa za Beech. Mtaala unajumuisha masaa 2.5 kila siku ya mafunzo ya kielimu, usawa wa mwili, stadi za maisha, lishe, sanaa, ujuzi wa karne ya 21st, ukuzaji wa tabia na kazi ya pamoja. Asilimia themanini na mbili ya washiriki wetu huzungumza lugha nyingine isipokuwa Kiingereza nyumbani, kwa hivyo ANZA husaidia familia ambazo zinahitaji msaada wa kuelewa utamaduni na shule za Amerika. Mwaka jana, 75% ya wanafunzi wa START walitambuliwa kama raia wa mwezi na shule zao na wanafunzi wote katika programu hiyo walipitisha kiwango cha chini cha viwango viwili vya kusoma.
