CEO Jane Mentzinger joined Comcast for their Community Expressions segment to share how Communities In Schools of Chicago is supporting students, families, and schools during this pandemic.
High school graduation remains our organization’s True North, Jane said, and CIS of Chicago has focused on our adaptability and creativity to continue driving the mission. This includes providing virtual one-on-one supports to students, sharing resources with families, publishing videos to keep young people engaged, encouraging the business community to write Hope Notes to students, and distributing emergency assistance to students and families in need.
