Our Site Coordinators work with volunteers, partners, and the local community to provide students with the resources they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Communities In Schools® is cost-effective – for less than $200 annually per student, we are able to provide a comprehensive range of community services.
Many young people lack traditional family or community support, so it’s up to the community to make sure someone cares about them. Communities In Schools connects students with mentors and caring adults who offer encouragement, academic support, and serve as positive role models.
Some children live in unsafe neighborhoods and attend schools that don’t feel secure. Communities In Schools provides safe, supportive environments through afterschool programs and alternative learning models so students can reach their potential.
Children can’t focus in school if they are hungry, cold, sick, or in need of care. Communities In Schools connects families with essential services like health care, food programs, vision and dental exams, mental health support, and more.
Today’s students need strong academics, technology skills, problem-solving abilities, and adaptability to succeed. Communities In Schools offers tutoring, career planning, job training, leadership development, and college readiness programs.
Giving back helps young people feel valued and part of their community. Communities In Schools creates opportunities for students to serve others through tutoring, volunteering, community projects, and mentoring younger children.
Troubled students and their families often have a hard time accessing and navigating through the maze of public and private services. Through a school-based coordinator, Communities In Schools® brings local resources inside the public school setting, where they are accessible, coordinated, and accountable.
