Each Success Coach is located within the school itself to be present and available on a daily basis for the 50-100 students who receive case management, the most intensive level of support in the CIS Model. Coaches use a variety of proven strategies — tailored to each student’s particular needs — to reduce absenteeism, resolve behavior issues, and improve grade outcomes.
As the son of a public school educator, the value of education opportunities for all children was always of great importance. My professional connections with CIS Wake co-founders, Glenn Williams and Alex Holmes, introduced me to CIS, but the mission and the people hooked me.
I want to be a part of the solution of empowering and providing resources to help students fulfill
their goals and dreams.
“We can improve [student] attendance by helping them find a dream to chase.”
CIS Wake is committed to improving the lives and future of each student it touches. I am proud to have had the opportunity to be a part of such an illustrious history.
Communities In Schools of Wake County has played a significant role in my life. The organization has supported me in several ways from elementary school to my masters degree. The dedication and commitment of the network is unmatched. I am proud to be a board member and honored that I have the opportunity to pay it forward.

The more knowledge we have, the better. Please volunteer with Communities In Schools because any lessons you can teach would be welcomed. Give all you can, even if it’s just a little.
