Project Title: CIS Rowan
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Communities In Schools of Rowan (CIS Rowan) provides comprehensive, school\u2011based, integrated student supports designed to help students overcome non\u2011academic barriers and stay on track to graduate. Through a proven model that embeds trained Site Coordinators inside partner schools, CIS Rowan delivers a continuum of services that includes school\u2011wide prevention supports, targeted group interventions, and individualized case management for students facing academic, social, emotional, and basic\u2011needs challenges.<\/p>\n
CIS Rowan currently serves 12 partner schools across Rowan County and Kannapolis City Schools. Students receive coordinated supports such as mentoring, tutoring, attendance interventions, behavioral skill\u2011building, and access to essential resources,s including food, clothing, hygiene items, and transportation assistance. These services help stabilize immediate challenges while strengthening protective factors that improve attendance, behavior, coursework performance, and long\u2011term engagement in school.<\/p>\n
In addition to academic and basic\u2011needs support, CIS Rowan provides robust college-and-career readiness programming. Through initiatives such as My Future Me, college tours, workforce exposure opportunities, and leadership development workshops, students gain the knowledge, confidence, and real\u2011world experiences needed to pursue postsecondary education, technical training, or employment. These programs help students understand how their education connects to future goals and community impact.<\/p>\n
CIS Rowan is also preparing for expansion into two additional schools during the 2026\u20132027 school year in response to rising student needs and requests from district leadership. This growth will allow the organization to reach more youth experiencing chronic absenteeism, academic struggles, and family instability.<\/p>\n
Funding from the Hermanowski Foundation will directly support the delivery of these essential services, ensuring that students and families continue to receive the wraparound supports needed to remain engaged in school, build resilience, and achieve long\u2011term success.<\/p>\n
