This article contains a list of potential partnerships for those starting dropout prevention initiatives. The idea here is to create a broad list of many possible types of partnership. Community-wide initiatives can take all sorts of shapes and involve many unlikely pairs of partners, our effort here is not to offer a prescription for what needs to be done but to offer a list that will jog the memory or promote creative thinking about possible partnerships in your community.

As a result, some users may consider elements on this list to be repetitive. We would ask that users only add to this list, don’t remove items. Users may want to provide a link from an item on this list to the Programs and Initiatives page to better describe initiatives sponsored by particular groups.
