Local Services

Circumstances and barriers for students vary widely across communities. Our local approach allows us to identify the unique needs in our community and leverage resources to make a difference in the lives of our young people.

Across our community, the identified priority, local needs and risk factors vary for each school, family, and individual student. Communities In Schools Site Coordinators work with at-risk students, families, and schools, to provide students with the resources they need to stay in school. The services may vary somewhat from school to school, but as presented in our model, at-risk students benefit from some combination of one or more of the following services:
