One Child at a Time
Doug, a Communities In Schools volunteer, has mentored Kevin for 6 years. “In elementary school Kevin struggled with behavior problems, which caused his grades to suffer. We met and worked on math homework or played chutes and ladders after school. Soon, his behavior improved. Kevin became interested in music and started playing percussion in the school band. Now that Kevin is in high school, we talk about life experiences and the importance of keeping good grades in preparation for college. Mentoring Kevin gives me a chance to give back to the community. Growing up I had very few black male mentors, and I wanted to be that kind of example to Kevin. I’m so proud to see how he’s developed into a mature young man.”

Welcome to CIS of Spokane County

Communities In Schools of Spokane County is leading the charge to keep kids in school. By providing coordinators at targeted schools we are getting the right kids the right services at the right time. The site coordinator’s job is to collaborate with community agencies to bring services to kids. Communities In Schools provides the vital link between the school and the community. During the 2009-2010 school year we had coordinators at 4 schools, and we NOW have site coordinators placed in 6 schools: Glover, Chase, Cheney and Shaw Middle Schools, Sheridan Elementary and Lewis and Clark High School.

 

Communities In Schools is leading a county wide effort to pilot a school-based health center in the fall of 2011.  To learn more about this initiative please visit www.schoolhealthcaresc.org.
