Communities in Schools
“Helping kids stay in school and prepare for life”
Through 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.
We love Communities in Schools and their efforts to keep kids in school and prepare for life. Check out some of the programs that Soma Austin partners with and if you would like to serve with us, please email Allison Carmel.
Middle School Mentoring Matters
The MMM program is a collaboration between CIS and Big Brothers, Big Sisters of CentralTexas (BBBS). Caring adults mentors (Bigs) are matched with students in need (Littles), in order to build one-to-one relationships that have lasting impact. This model allows Bigs to begin meeting Littles in the school setting and later transition the relationship to the community.
