Communities In Schools of Georgia is addressing learning loss & reengaging students in their schoolwork through programs like CampAC, which provides tutors and one-on-one case management. Here are some of our student participants!
Amos Berry III, CIS of Georgia in Albany/Dougherty County Student
6th Grade
Communities In Schools of Georgia helped students like 6th grader, Amos, experience a virtual tutoring program that included e-sports, social studies, math, science, and history. Amos benefited from the one-on-one instruction with a tutor where he felt a lot more comfortable and could explore STEM classes he wouldn’t normally receive in school. He also had tutoring in several subjects where he had been falling behind.
Every month you help CIS encourage academic achievement for underserved students who are full of potential.
My site coordinator always was helping me learn new stuff and she is the greatest person ever!

Jovannah Young, CIS of Georgia in Albany/Dougherty County Student
9th Grade
Sixth grader, Jovannah, learned to stay motivated to stay in school. Her favorite part of being a CIS student was the opportunity to attend an online cooking class that helped her release some of the stress caused by adjusting to virtual learning. She was also able to gain more confidence as she found out that she was a great cook and enjoyed her home-cooked healthy meals!
I liked that Communities In Schools kept me motivated and helped me have positive vibes. My Site Coordinator helped me talk more with other people. She is very positive and made me more positive too!

Miracle Harris, CIS of Georgia in Albany/Dougherty County Student
2nd Grade
When the COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on students and families, the need for academic and social-emotional resources grew drastically. Communities In Schools provided safe spaces, self-care resources, and events supporting student wellness to empower kids to have a healthy outlook on their mental health and to succeed in life. Students like 2nd grader, Miracle, learned to be herself, love herself, and follow her heart in spite of her challenges.
In CIS I learned how to be grateful and be yourself, and you should like yourself. I used to be bothered by what other people said and she (CIS Site Coordinator) made me feel like a better person.
