Creating a link between School and Community

  • The Wakefield Business Alliance is a collaboration of business, community, and school leaders committed to educating each student to be a responsible and productive citizen. Our mission is to create a link between our business community and our school community. Through this connection, business partners can enhance the School-to-Career transition of every student, as they become responsible, productive citizens and leaders within the community.
