Children First/Communities In Schools

What They Do:

Children First/Communities In Schools works to empower both children and families by keeping students on track for academic success and supporting well-being through a whole-child, whole-family approach. Our student support specialists work in K-6 schools to support students with improvement goals related to attendance, behavior, coursework, parent engagement and social-emotional learning. Our learning centers provide after-school and summer enrichment programming for children within their own neighborhoods. Family resource centers offer food boxes, school supplies, emergency financial assistance and more.
