About
To surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
In 2014 we became an affiliate of the national Communities In Schools program, and since have added on-site services through model school programming at Chatham Middle School Virginia Cross Elementary, Siler City Elementary and provide General Youth Services programming at , Pittsboro Elementary , Horton Middle School , and Jordan Matthews High School . Our affiliate is a part of a state wide and national Communities In Schools program.
The reason we are all here is because of our commitment to serving kids – while our children often have barriers in and out of school, they are strong, resilient, creative and amazing! They are smart, and despite the challenges they encounter – they inspire us every day – they are our future and deserve the opportunities that many in our community enjoy.
