Auer Ave, hosted a "Community Resource Fair," to provide resources and support for Auer Avenue students, families and community members.

Auer Avenue Community School is one of twelve Milwaukee Public Schools that are currently a part of the Milwaukee Community Schools Partnership (MCSP), which is a collective strategy to transform schools into places where students, families, staff, and the surrounding community can work together to ensure every student is successful. Community Schools are a proven model to increase a school’s capacity to better engage and align partnerships centered on the self-identified, real-time priorities of schools and communities.
