About this organization
Mission
To surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
About
Integrated student services - the organization connects community resources to schools to address the assessed needs of students using the national Communities in Schools integrated student services model. This approach has been independently evaluated and demonstrated a positive impact on 4th and 8th grade reading and math scores, drop-out rates and graduation rates. The long-term goal is for students to graduate from high school, college-ready, and able to use the Kalamazoo Promise. Intermediate goals are to help students become proficient in reading, writing, math, attendance, and behavior. Resources and services are grouped in two broad areas: learning readiness (health, mental health, physical needs, and attendance support) and learning support (tutoring, classroom assistance, homework help, and enrichment). The organization had site coordinators and/or after-school coordinators in twenty buildings. The organization operated after-school programs funded by three 21st century community learning center grants in fifteen of the twenty buildings in 2018-19.
