On March 19th, United4Hope brought together church leaders and coordinators from all over south Nashville for a powerful time of connection, learning, and collaboration. The meet-up was graciously hosted at the Rolling Hills Community Center, thanks to the generosity of the Campus Pastor and Community Center Director, Roberto Pagan Jr. 

The gathering welcomed representatives from 16 churches, all united in their shared mission to support MNPS schools in the southern region. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from a dynamic panel of experienced church and school partners who shared valuable insights and best practices for building strong, impactful partnerships with schools. 

Adding further depth to the discussion, Kashonda Babb-Hilliard from Community Achieves at MNPS provided important updates on partnership opportunities and highlighted exciting upcoming district initiatives. Her insights helped equip coordinators with the knowledge and resources needed to strengthen their engagement with schools. 

The event concluded with a time of fellowship, allowing church coordinators to connect, exchange contact information, and begin laying the groundwork for future collaboration. The energy in the room reflected a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of students, educators, and families. 

United4Hope is grateful for each partner who participated and looks forward to seeing the continued impact of these growing connections across the southern region.
