Partnership Pitfalls • Poor or inadequate planning • More projects planned than can be reasonably accomplished • Inadequate selling of the partnership to employees or members • Lack of real commitment from either the school or community partner • Change of coordinator at school or with community partner • Focus from the school on simply financial contributions rather than the bigger picture • Misperception on the part of the community partner or school representative • Personality differences with partner • Allowing too much time between activities • Lack of communication between school and partners, or within the community organization • Lack of involvement of students or parents in the planning process |
