Being a CIS Success Coach entails meeting with your student, preferably every week (minimum of twice a month) at an established time during the school day, and acting as a "mentor." What does that mean though? As a CIS Success Coach, you will work on developing a relationship with your student, guiding students through goal-setting and decision-making, and creating self-awareness. We ensure that our CIS Success Coaches are trained and prepared to support their students by requiring that our volunteers participate in a 1.5 hour-training session and providing ongoing support.
We are in 56 schools in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, so have opportunities across the county.

Description
Please Note: We typically do not have access to students over the summer months; therefore, individual volunteer placements for School/Reading Buddies, Tutors, or Mentors are made from September through the end of March each school year. While you may complete our Volunteer Interest Form at any time, please keep this Sept-March timeframe in mind if you are interested in one of these volunteer roles that is matched to an individual student
Communities In Schools believes all students deserve five basic resources: A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult; A safe place to learn and grow; A healthy start and a healthy future; A marketable skill to use upon graduation; A chance to give back to peers and the community. Communities In Schools is part of the nation's largest stay-in-school network helping young people continue their education. Some of the challenges students face include family conflict, poor self esteem, drug and alcohol abuse, juvenile crime, illiteracy, poor health, and teen pregnancy.
