Project Title: Building Transformative Relationships to Shape Tomorrow’s Communities
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
CIS-AH requests $10,000.00 from the Charles and Joan Hermanowski Foundation to directly support Student Support Coordinators (SSCs), who are located inside the school building to provide services on two primary levels; targeted, individualized services to the most vulnerable students and supports aimed at the entire school population utilizing the core belief that transformative relationships are key to unlocking a student\u2019s potential. CIS-AH has been providing services to students in Bristol Virginia Public Schools since 2013, in Tazewell County Virginia Public Schools since 2016, expanded in 2021 into the Virginia counties of Dickenson, Smyth, and Washington and the City of Norton, and will once again expand in 2023 into the Virginia counties of Russell and Wise. The organization, formerly known as Communities In Schools of Southwest Virginia, also announced its new name in July 2022 along with the expansion of its potential service territory into ten counites of Northeast Tennessee (Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and Washington) and is actively working to establish school division partnerships and begin placing SSCs in Northeast Tennessee schools.<\/p>\n
The mission of CIS-AH is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.<\/p>\n
CIS-AH is an independent affiliate of Communities In Schools (CIS). As an affiliate, CIS-AH implements model practices and receives certain resources and opportunities from CIS and state-level agencies, CIS-VA and CIS-TN. However, CIS-AH is a self-governing, self-funding, self-sustaining local\/regional entity. Collectively, CIS affiliates makeup the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization, both in decreasing dropout rates and increasing high school graduation rates. The CIS model of integrated student supports, backed by over forty years of research and implementation, is provided by SSCs working in the school building to administer targeted, individualized services to the most at-risk students and also provide whole-school programming aimed at dropout prevention.\n<\/p>\n
