Partners

Partners are agencies that are involved with the provision of services. Often the 21st Century Partner providing the service is the 21st Century Program. However, in some cases, some programs may have community partners that provide services.

2. Click Add Partner in the upper right corner of the page. You will be taken to a blank information page.
3. Type in the partner's information.
4. Click Create to save the information you have just typed in.

NOTE: Partners must be entered into the database first before they can be assigned to a service program.

Viewing Partners

There are several ways of viewing partners. You may either view all partners, or by category. This provides a convenient way of searching for and retrieving partner records.

If you have specified that a partner belongs to more than one category, then this partner will show up in each of the lists generated when you click on any one category.

Here are all the options for viewing partners:

• View All Partners: If you haven't designated what agency category a partner belongs to, then these partners will show up here. Also, if you don't remember what category a partner is, you can always search here first.
• View Service Providers: View all the agencies that are directly involved to providing day-to-day services to participants.
• View Funders: View agencies who provide financial support to services. These can include private or government organizations.
• View Schools: View schools that may may provide rooms for services, or who have students that participate in programs.
• View Community Groups: Community groups can include organizations such as the neighborhood YWCA, or other groups that are not necessarily Funders, Providers, or Schools, but still are involved in service programs.
