Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we break down the heart of Communities In Schools (CIS) and highlight the critical role Site Coordinators play in bringing the model to life. From a quick overview of CIS to the day-to-day realities of being the bridge between students, schools, and communities—you’ll hear why this work simply can’t happen without you. We’ll also normalize the feelings of confusion or overwhelm that come with the job, and explore the resources, peers, and supports available to help you thrive. Finally, we’ll reflect on the lasting impact you can make—whether you’re in this role for one year or many—because every connection and every seed you plant matters. This is a reminder that you are not just part of CIS—you are CIS in action.
