Chairman’s Message
To Our Friends and Supporters,
New Hampshire Partners in Education, whose roots date back to 1968, remains true to its mission
of offering statewide support and leadership to local schools in establishing, maintaining, and
expanding effective school volunteer programs and educational partnerships between schools and
their communities.
New Hampshire Partners in Education has maintained a successful track record throughout its 39
years as being an organization that not only recognizes those involved in partnerships and volunteer
efforts, but also offers continued support and consultative services, regionalized training workshops, and various public awareness activities designed to promote the value and rewards of school
volunteerism.
We have made a commitment to take advantage of the opportunities that technology provides by
bridging the distance gap between volunteers. Our web site is designed to be a valuable resource to
school volunteers by providing current information and links to partners and other school volunteers that can help to grow and strengthen all school volunteer programs throughout the Granite
State. We plan on expanding our outreach activities in the coming months to broaden our scope and
awareness among NH schools and businesses.
I would like to acknowledge the dedication and guidance of our Board and staff as we continue
to refine and implement the organizational changes necessary for us to be effective in this current
environment. I would also like to acknowledge the generous financial support from our sponsors
and schools who understand the value of school volunteers to the schools and the students in their
communities.
We look forward to working with schools and local organizations to nurture and grow the school
volunteer effort in the Granite State. We are committed to building bridges between schools and
their communities in order to enhance and enrich our children’s education.
Your continued support is appreciated and we look forward to serving you in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Dillard E. Collins
Thirty-Nine Years of Service
Since 1968, we have been providing guidance and support to school volunteer programs and thousands of
New Hampshire children have been touched by the efforts of countless school volunteers. In the academic year
2006-2007, over 45,000 volunteers provided over one million hours of service to 200 schools in New Hampshire who reported a total enrollment of over 120,000 students.
There are over 600 schools in New Hampshire divided by K-8 public schools, 9-12 public schools and K-12
non-public schools. Our continued goal is to foster, support and facilitate volunteer programs in each school in
the Granite State.
Gold Circle Awards
The Gold Circle Awards celebrates the valuable partnerships that schools and volunteer programs have with
local businesses. By receiving volunteer and other resource support from organizations in their community,
schools are able to balance resources to provide their students with the best educational experience possible.
Blue Ribbon Awards
The Blue Ribbon Awards recognizes the extraordinary efforts of school volunteer coordinators and their volunteer teams for the achievements realized during the previous school year. In 2007, 2000 schools and their
volunteer programs were selected to receive the Blue Ribbon award. A statewide award ceremony to recognize
and award these outstanding volunteer programs is held each year.
Idea Exchange
The Idea Exchange is a clearinghouse of speakers available to make presentations to school administrators,
school volunteers, parents & students on a wide variety of topics. Contact information for the Idea Exchange
speakers can be found on our website.
Education Station
New for 2008, this is a new program that is designed to collect donated classroom supplies from local businesses and organizations and distribute them to New Hampshire schools.
Power of the Penny Campaign
This annual campaign was created in an effort to teach children the significance of saving and to raise money
for their schools. The campaign runs from October through April, at which
time the schools report their outcome by identifying the school goal; the amount
raised, the community involvement and most importantly, the learning experience for the children. In 2006-2007, over one million pennies were collected by
13 schools.
