There is a strong relationship between citizens and my community partner. The tutorial program was established as an effort to lend a hand to the citizens of local communities, specifically the Bel Air Elementary community. With the loss of its funding, the school could be shut down. This would result in the loss of jobs and would also disrupt the daily life and routines of the students and their families as they would have to deal with the hassle of switching schools. My community partner is there to prevent the worst from happening, so they have the best interest of the community at heart.
The tutorial program works directly with citizens who have kids at Bel Air Elementary because it is responsible for tutoring their children. The interactions, however, are limited to interactions with the students and teachers. The parents are, of course, appreciative of the efforts of the tutorial program, especially since the children get their daily homework completed.
In order to successfully overcome the impediments that are a result of the school's current situation, the focus needs to put on the children and their academic success. The tutorial program can only do so much, and efforts need to continue outside of the tutoring session. This requires citizens, such as parents, to emphasize the importance and value of education.
