Our friends at National Campaign to Stop Violence - Do the Write Thing just sent us a few snaps from the Summit this past summer in DC, and it made us smile. 

We couldnt be prouder of our two Chicago ambassadors -- Summer and Jaylen -- for representing our city and sharing their ideas on what can be done to reduce violence in our communities. 

Were inspired by their leadership and are happy to be co-sponsors of Do the Write Thing Chicago.

This time of the year, our CIS team is busy hitting the ground running. Our Intensive Program is active at 38 schools across the city this year, where Student Supports Managers are providing direct services 

They are meeting with students, learning more about their interests, and finding opportunities to support them so that they stay on the path to graduation.

Were thrilled to have our new Community Care Partnership Specialist, Laura, on board, to help us better connect schools with the basic needs items they are requesting.

Laura and our Senior School Partnership Specialist, Jill, took a look through the donations weve received this back-to-school season at CIS HQ.

We were so excited to have Summer Bell, one of Chicago’s two national student ambassadors for the Do The Write Thing writing initiative featured on CBS2 last night! 

Her reflective writing on the impacts of violence is now saved at the @librarycongress and she and her Chicago co-ambassador Jaylen Trice are part of a growing movement to stop violence across the nation.

S/O to @lathamwatkins and @dtwtofficial for being great partners in this work!

We encourage you to watch the CBS2 story here:

Thank you, Grimes Elementary School, for hosting us today for the Youth Mental Health First Aid training! Bart and Robin enjoyed meeting Grimes teachers and school staff and facilitating the training.

Youth Mental Health First Aid helps caring adults recognize and respond to youth in crisis and is one of the ways that CIS of Chicago is supporting schools in our partner network as they begin the school year. 

We wish Grimes a wonderful start to the 2023-24 school year! #AllinforKids

Our CIS team spotlights continue this week with a look at the important work of our Community Partnership Specialists. These folks support our network of community organizations and help them connect their programs and resources directly to students.

Community partner programs help students with everything from academic support and college/career readiness to the arts, health and wellness, and even accessing essential needs.

Right now, our Community Partnership Specialists are supporting our partner network as they prepare for the school year. Here are some photos from last weeks Summer Institute, where they hosted professional development sessions for partners and facilitated networking.
