Mission: Communities in schools of delaware trains and supports site coordinators who work closely with schools to identify the most vulnerable students, and develop and implement a comprehensive, targeted, and customized plan to get them back on track. These interventions include brokering partners and programs into school. Our approach includes:non-academic assistance: connecting young people with a host of services - healthcare, housing, safety, nutrition - resulting in students more prepared to learn. One-to-one mentoring: instilling the confidence to succeed, the belief that education creates opportunity, and setting the expectation for success. Tutoring and academic support: increasing academic performance and building confidence. Family assistance & parent engagement: ensuring children have a supportive home life, and that parents have access to the services they need. Out-of-school enrichment & service learning: strengthening the resiliency of children to succeed in life.
Programs: Communities in schools of delaware brokers and develops mentoring/tutoring, after-school programs, individual interventions, and family assistance.
