Judith Allen, Chief Operating Officer of Communities In Schools of Chicago, speaks with Comcast Newsmakers’ Ellee Pai Hong about how our organization has pivoted services in the midst of a pandemic, as well as other challenges this school year.
This pivot includes shifting to virtual student services, increasing outreach to parents and teachers, and helping students and families access basic needs. The overall goal for CIS of Chicago remains, however, to keep students on the path to graduation.
