BEING PRESENT MATTERS. CIS knows that good attendance in school is critically important to student success. That’s why we are laser-focused on addressing chronic absenteeism. Brady, a CIS 6th grader, was missing too many days of school. His CIS Site Coordinator, Ms. Randolph, met with him to dig deeper and understand the root cause of his absences. She stressed to Brady the importance of being in school every day, and together they brainstormed ways he could improve his attendance. Ms. Randolph then drew up an “attendance contract” for Brady, holding him accountable by checking in with him each morning when he came to school. Brady’s small successes led to greater enthusiasm - soon he was proactively checking in with Ms. Randolph each day, proud to let her know that he was in school. Over the next semester, his attendance improved tremendously! The real reasons students miss school are often complex and misunderstood, ranging from transportation issues to mental health concerns, food or housing insecurity, or having to work or provide childcare for siblings. Students are often absent because the support and resources to address these challenges are often absent. CIS is present in schools every day, helping students like Brady with their attendance and any other obstacles keeping them from success. 👉With your donations, CIS can place Site Coordinators in schools to address students’ needs and ensure they show up for school, ready to learn! cischarlotte.org/donate #BeingPresentMatters #AttendanceMatters #inschoolseveryday #AllinforKids #WeekofGiving

As graduation season gets underway, we’re so proud of all our youth have achieved. They face many challenges that can hinder academic performance – from transient housing, transportation issues, lack of school supplies, chronic absenteeism, poor health, fatigue, hunger and mental health issues. According to SchoolHouse Connection (https://lnkd.in/d_5MmUzZ), the 2020-2021 national average graduation rate for homeless students was 68%. The lack of a H.S. diploma or/GED is the single greatest risk factor for experiencing homelessness for young adults. We know a solid education can make all the difference in the future for homeless youth and offer a lifeline of programs and services to keep them in school: - Housing support - Drop-in Outreach Centers where youth can study - Mentoring programs - Liaison with social workers/community partners - Free bus passes to get to school - Donate school supplies - Distribute food and snack packs Help us put more kids on the road to success with a donation today. https://lnkd.in/gq-XhM8w SchoolHouse Connection #StandUpForKids #SchoolHouseConnection #EndYouthHomelessness #Nonprofit #Advocacy #YouthPrograms

Out of all the causes I care about, children hold a special place in my heart, and here's why. There's something about their innocence, curiosity, and resilience that inspire me to do everything I can to support them and I believe that supporting children - both boys and girls - is crucial for building a better future for our world. On this Children's Day, I need to remind you that these children you see are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers of our world. They have the potential to bring about positive change and make a significant impact. However, many children worldwide lack access to basic necessities like education, healthcare, and safety, hindering their growth and development, and ultimately affecting us all. So, what can we do today to support children worldwide? We can: • Donate to organizations providing educational resources and support to underprivileged children • Volunteer at local schools or organizations working with children • Advocate for policies prioritizing children's education and well-being • Mentor a child or young person in our community Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who cares, every effort counts. P.S. Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below on how we can support children and ensure they receive the education they deserve. P.P.S. Repost to support a child.

Early Childhood Education (ECE) is a critical piece to a larger puzzle that shapes the future of our children, families, communities and economy. Understanding the link between the ECE system and our workforce is critical to making Connecticut a state that works for every person.

On National Build Day, Alabama Professional Services and Sleep in Heavenly Peace joined forces to tackle a daunting issue: child bedlessness. This initiative aimed to provide hand-made beds to children who, without this support, would have to sleep on floors or couches, contributing to severe health and emotional challenges. Reflecting on my own experiences, I remember volunteering for community projects similar to this where we came together, rolled up our sleeves, and made a tangible impact. There’s something incredibly fulfilling about working collectively to uplift those in need—it's a reminder of the positive change we can create in our communities. Did you know that sleep deprivation can lead to hyperactivity, anxiety, and depression in children? The bedlessness crisis is real, and initiatives like these are crucial for fostering healthier futures for our youth. What can you do to contribute to this cause? Consider volunteering your time or donating to organizations that address these pressing issues. Together, we can bring hope and comfort to the lives of children. #ChildWelfare #CommunitySupport #Volunteer #SleepInHeavenlyPeace #AlabamaProfessionalServices #NationalBuildDay
