PENCIL for Schools is a Nashville, Tennessee-based non-profit that connects community resources with Metro Nashville Public Schools. Its network enables students to work in laboratories alongside teachers and industry professionals, while teachers develop interdisciplinary lessons that link different subjects, such as algebra with Agricultural Science. Volunteers donate a lunch hour each week to support students' reading comprehension. Businesses collaborate to build an engaged student pipeline through internships and job shadowing. In addition, PENCIL operates free teacher resource centers where Metro Nashville Public Schools teachers can shop without charge once per quarter to augment classroom materials. In November 2025, the organization received a national Exemplary partnership award from the National Career Academy Coalition.
