A strong school year starts with a strong community behind it. 🎓

CORE was proud to join educators, community leaders and partners at the CCSD Back to School Kickoff as we celebrated the promise and possibilities of a new school year.

We were especially glad to connect with CCSD Board of Trustees Clerk Lydia Dominguez, Trustee Tameka Henry, CCSD Police Chief Jeff Clark and Assistant Principal Jennifer Leifer of Northwest Career & Technical Academy.

Here’s to a great year ahead for CCSD students — and to everyone working together to help them succeed. 🧡

Housing and education may seem like separate issues — but for families, they're deeply connected.

CORE Executive Director Jeff Jones recently joined Nino Galloway of Neighborhood Housing Services of Southern Nevada on the Block by Block podcast to talk about affordable housing, community and how those issues intersect with CORE's work supporting Scholars and their families.

We're grateful for opportunities to be part of conversations that look at the whole picture of what families need to thrive.

Stay tuned for the episode! 🎙️

Sometimes access means opening a door — and sometimes it means opening the gates to Allegiant Stadium. 🏈 A huge thank you to the Las Vegas Raiders for providing 50 tickets for CORE Scholars, their families and our team to experience Raiders practice together.

Experiences like these matter. They give our Scholars and families opportunities to explore spaces, make memories and feel connected to the larger Las Vegas community.
Thank you to Chris Shelton for making sure the CORE community was included in such an incredible night out.

Judging by the photos, we think they had a pretty good time. 😄

Thank you, Las Vegas Aces, for always showing up for our community! 💜🏀

Building stronger leaders. Building a stronger community. 💙During professional development today, our Success Coaches took time to pack food for local families, putting CORE’s commitment to service into action. Because leadership isn’t just something you learn— it’s something you live.
