Become a School Partner

As a Partner of the Resource Center your school is eligible to receive technical assistance and program support at no cost.

There are four partnership achievement levels that build towards establishing a long-term, sustainable SRTS program at your school.

With each partnership level you will receive a corresponding branding seal to attach to your program material and a window decal for your school entrance. As you achieve the goals associated with each partnership level, you may apply for the next seal at any time.
