What We DoOur school-based professional staff work directly in elementary, middle and high school campuses. In addition to individual student

support, they provide whole school supports, helping ensure school

environments are safe and inclusive for all students.

Every individual student achievement adds up to the kind of change

that supports schools and strengthens communities.

We empower young people to set and meet goals, provide parent engagement and support, and help every child realize their full potential.

Our unique model centers on having a dedicated, full-time social service professional in each campus we serve.

These additional supports ensure that students receive the exact services they need.
