Communities in SchoolsThrough campus-based programs and special projects, Communities In Schools creates a network of volunteers, social services, businesses, and community resources that work together to break down barriers and help students succeed. Partnership Soma Austin partners with Communities in Schools to serve Dawson Elementary and Fulmore Middle School. This summer we will be performing an extreme makeover of the CIS counseling area, and this fall we will be partnering with Communities in Schools and Big Brothers Big Sisters in a middle school mentoring program. This is a new program for CIS and we hope to recruit at least 6-10 people to help in this program. If you would like to help with the Extreme Makeover at Dawson Elementary or sign up to mentor a student at Fulmore Middle School, please email us at .

Austin Parks Foundation
Austin Parks Foundation is committed to providing the resources and partnerships that create and sustain beautiful and active parks. They seek to fill the gap between what needs to be done and what our parks department can afford to do. Each year, Austin Parks Foundation generates millions of dollars in volunteer time, in-kind donations, and financial support for city parks. Partnership Soma Austin seeks to serve alongside other city partners in renewing our city parks. We have been able to participate in working on several parks in East Austin and the greenbelt through the It's My Park Day initiative and joining with neighborhood associations in cleaning up local parks. |
