Communities In Schools of Jacksonville 2019-2020 Impact Report

OUR COVID-19 RESPONSE
When schools closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic, our team worked rapidly to ensure our
students still received critical resources safely through virtual and socially distanced in-person
delivery of services. From March through August 2020, our staff accomplished the following:
45 CIS program staff
have visited schools to
help distribute meals to
students.
We’re contacting more
than 2,000 students in our
afterschool program 2-3 times
per week to check in and
provide assistance.
19 CIS site coordinators are
conducting SAFE home visits
to ensure students’ wellbeing
& help them stay on track with
their schoolwork.
Our site coordinators have
helped deliver dozens of
laptops to students who could
not pick them up.
CIS staff have been connecting
students in need with our
partners, such as United Way
Full Service Schools, to help
them deal with new stresses and
anxiety from the pandemic.
More than 1,500 students
in our case management
program have been contacted
by CIS staff to check in and
provide assistance.
Over the past two months,
AmeriCorps tutors have
completed more than
1,300 hours of service and
professional development.
We hosted 29 virtual
summer camps, which
offered virtual enrichment
activities, virtual field trips and
virtual college visits.
Weekly virtual team
meetings were held to ensure
the staff was prepared and
felt safe delivering services.

143 book reading videos, 8 career guest speaker videos, and 58 activity
