When 6-year-old Samuel first attended his Communities In Schools after-school program, Director Cheryl Britt, recalls that he struggled to stay on task. “Samuel couldn’t stay in his seat long enough to complete a simple project.” After speaking with his mom, Cheryl learned that Samuel had recently lost his brother in a traffic accident, and was struggling to focus in school. Cheryl paired Samuel with Jacob, a mentoring volunteer. Jacob worked one-on-one with Samuel to help him complete his projects, stay on task, and engage with other students.
