Jim Walter Partnership
The Jim Walter Partnership Center is made up of various programs and contracts that
help advance the well-being and status of our community across a spectrum of issues.
The Center hosts the College Link program, which helps middle school students transition
throughout high school and link to the college environment. It was involved in drafting
the next Hillsborough County Consolidated Plan. JWPC has evaluated two Weed and Seed
outreach anti-crime initiatives and has helped develop and bring funding to community
development corporations throughout the area. The Center is taking a leadership
role on the development of a community-directed anti-crime handbook and toolkit.
Recently, the Center expanded its programming to serve international communities
in Central America hosting training programs for agency representatives from Haiti,
Dominican Republic, Honduras, and several other countries.
