Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.

Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.

Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.

Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.

Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.

Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.

Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.

This program is for students at Roosevelt High School.

The Residential Child Care Program meets disadvantaged children’s physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs in a warm family-like atmosphere where houseparents function as mother and father figures. Residents range in age from 5 to 18 and live in cottages with eight to ten children.

This program helps families (mothers, fathers, grandparents, guardians) who realize they need help in raising their children. Families are often in conflict. They face issues ranging from homelessness, poverty, alcohol or drug abuse, violence, serious illness, abuse, incarceration, abandonment or the death of a family member.

Children are accepted into the Residential Child Care program based on need and without regard to race, sex or national origin and are treated with dignity and respect.

Five Levels of Support

1. A pediatric-trained therapist will be available at every program to ensure the safety and success of each child by implementing modifications for our athletes, overseeing volunteers, and coordinating with parents.
2. A coach or instructor will also be at every program who develops the curriculum and then provides the direction and support to enable our athletes to function at their highest level.
3. Staff members are available at each program to assist athletes, parents, and volunteers.
4. Volunteers are consistent, passionate, and motivated to help participants achieve success.
5. Parents and families get to pull up a chair and cheer from the sidelines! Of course, we also welcome any input that will ensure the success of your child.

Celebrations: While we believe doing is more important than winning, every program concludes with an end-of-season finale that celebrates each child’s successes big or small. These confidence-boosting finales focus the spotlight on Kinetic Kids as we create spirit tunnels, give awards, and act like paparazzi in front of their family and friends.
