Communities In Schools of Michigan

?? Exciting News! ?? CIS Michigan has received a grant from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan to bring Social-Emotional Learning programs to up to 10 schools! These programs equip students with essential soft skills, such as self-awareness, self-management, relationship-building, and responsible decision-making. These skills are critical for academic success, mental health, and long-term personal and professional growth. This funding will help our Student Support Coordinators create healthier, more supportive learning environments for students. ??To learn more, visit cismichigan.org/inthenews #CISMichigan #StudentSuccess #beingpresentmatters #CommunitiesInSchools

Date(s): Early February Location: Holly Park Academy, Lansing, MI We’re looking for volunteers to: - Sort and organize donated books - Help set up the library space - Assist with cataloging and shelving Whether you can spare a few hours or a full day, your support will make a lasting impact.
