More than 100 leaders from 200 local community organizations will meet Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022 at 9a.m., to learn ways to strengthen their support for Chicago Public Schools students and teachers during the 10th Annual Summer Institute hosted by Communities In Schools of Chicago (CIS of Chicago) at University of Illinois Chicago’s Student Center East, 750 S. Halsted, Chicago, 60607. The day of learning and collaboration will provide a wide array of organizations with the resources to support CPS teachers in their classrooms while also executing impactful programs for Chicago Public School students. CIS of Chicago’s network of more than 200 community partners plays a critical role in student learning, which has become even more important since the return to in-person learning last year. Investing in the professional development of community partners is key to their success in the classroom, and in turn, the overall success of Chicago students in school and in life. CIS of Chicago’s network of community partners provides a variety of programs, including academic enrichment, arts, behavioral and mental health, college and career readiness, physical health and wellness, and fundamental needs. In the 2021-22 school year, CIS of Chicago linked more than 1,300 community partner programs and resources with Chicago Public Schools across the city.
