WHAT THEY DO: Communities In Schools helps students stay in school and make right choices by connecting schools with needed community resources. By bringing resources, services, parents, and volunteers into schools, we create a community of caring adults who work hand in hand with educators. Communities In Schools helps communities assess the needs of their youth. We then design plans for meeting those needs, using existing resources. We connect young people with services in a variety of ways: In some schools, services are made available to all students and their families. In other schools, CIS connects services with particular students in need, either on a one-time basis or as part of a carefully monitored case management system. CIS also brings community resources to students and families through after-school programs WHAT WE DO FOR THEM: We currently support CIS by developing a football league with other motorcycle clubs in the community. Our goal is to use the football team to help youth of low income housing areas have an alternative to the streets. Combined with an afterschool tutoring program, the youth will have the opportunity to play football as long as thier grades are kept up. |
