Communities In Schools of Chicago Expands to Support Students at 200 Chicago Public Schools in “Vital” School Year
60,000 students in 2022-23.
programs in areas like physical and mental health, arts and enrichment, parent and family support, and college/career readiness. A growing body of research finds that the provision of these services, within school settings, help students succeed
in school and life.
The expansion to 25 more schools comes at a critical time for public schools. Studies have shown that students in CPS and other districts experienced significant learning loss because of the pandemic. Moreover, the U.S. Surgeon General has warned that young people are facing a mental health crisis because of
the stress and uncertainty they’ve faced as a result of not only the pandemic, but epidemic levels of violence, political unrest, and racial and social injustice.
Communities In Schools (CIS) of Chicago is the leading nonprofit in Chicago dedicated to removing barriers so that students can unlock their potential and stay on the path to graduation. The organization, which will partner with 200 public schools in Chicago in 2022-23, connects schools to needed programs and services and provides one-on-one and group interventions, like counseling and supportive guidance, to public-school students who need it most.
