Communities In Schools Coordinators work alongside teachers at Title 1 schools to help at-risk students. Different kids have different needs. Some need academic help; some need a stable home and food on the table or someone who will listen and help guide the way. Others just need a pair of eyeglasses to stay on track at school. Often working behind the scenes at all hours of day and night, the men and women at CIS work directly with students and their families. As you can imagine, these needs have increased during COVID-19 

Our goal this year is to provide gifts of appreciation to these men and women.  We'll be providing gift bags, filled with snacks small gifts and gift cards as a way of saying, "We appreciate and value the difference you're making in the lives of children and families in our community."

 

Here are several ways you can help:

• Make a donation at BridgingRVA.org

• May 9-12 - Volunteer to help deliver gifts during school hours. This is a fun way for individuals, businesses, faith-based communities and civic groups to give back. Send us an email at info@BridgingRVA.org to learn more.
