Communities In Schools of Central Texas

About the Program

Communities in Schools of Central Texas (CISCT) will have 90 AmeriCorps members who will serve as mentors and academic supporters at public schools in four Central Texas counties: Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, and Travis. AmeriCorps members will be responsible for academic readiness or self-awareness, healthy emotions, and responsible decision- making outcomes for 1,100 students. In addition, the AmeriCorps members will leverage 10 episodic volunteers who will be engaged in a service day, community outreach activity, or school-based activities involving small group and/or school-wide participation.
