Communities In Schools of NOVA seeks volunteers to join our team to help address food insecurity in Arlington!
Volunteers are needed to help staff our weekly food distribution at the Arlington Career Center in partnership with the Arlington Food Assistance Center. Volunteers will help set up, run and take down our food distribution program between 1pm-3:30pm on Wednesday afternoons at the school.
This is a great volunteer opportunity for anyone seeking to address a critical need in our schools, meet other civic-minded volunteers and become a part of a dynamic school community this year!
CIS NOVA partners with Arlington Public Schools and Alexandria City Public Schools to deliver needed services and programs to the students at Barcroft Elementary School, Francis Hammond Middle School, Gunston Middle School, Arlington Community High School, and Wakefield High School.
For more information, please contact Dan Howard at dan@cisofnova.org.

Mission Statement
The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Description
Communities In Schools of NOVA works to keep students in school so that they can learn, grow and prepare for college, career and life.
In order to accomplish this, Communities In Schools of NOVA believes every child needs and deserves these "Five Basics":
A one-on-one caring relationship with an adult
Many children do not have strong relationships with caring adults. We recruit and train volunteers to be mentors and tutors to young people in need and at risk. These volunteers become someone the children can trust, depend on and look up to.
A safe place to learn and grow
Our programs give kids an alternative to risky environments and activities.
A healthy start and a healthy future
Our site coordinators connect young people with a host of services, which might include health and dental care, eyeglasses and even weekly groceries if needed.
A marketable skill to use upon graduation
Our high school programs focus on helping at-risk students master basic analytical and social skills while developing attitudes and ethics necessary for success in the workplace.
A chance to give back to peers and community
Through community service, young people not only obtain valuable leadership skills, but also understand the give/get interconnection between themselves and the greater community.
