New CIS Alumni Program Launches
Communities In Schools (CIS) is excited to announce the development of our new Alumni Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to support our graduates as they transition into adulthood and embark on their professional journeys.
A cornerstone of this program is the emphasis on community engagement. Alumni have already started participating in various service projects, fostering a sense of unity and giving back to their communities. These projects not only strengthen local ties but also instill a lasting sense of purpose among participants.
In addition to community service, the Alumni Program offers a variety of skill-building opportunities. One such initiative is the Professional Skills Workshop, where alumni can enhance their resumes, hone their interview techniques, and learn effective communication strategies. These workshops are crucial in equipping our graduates with the tools they need to succeed in their careers.
Financial literacy is another key focus area. Through dedicated workshops, alumni are gaining valuable insights into building and managing credit, empowering them to make informed financial decisions and secure their futures.
Central to the program is the Alumni Resource Community, a dynamic online platform that serves as a one-stop shop for alumni. This community provides access to essential resources, networking opportunities, professional workshop planning, and personalized support from the Alumni Program Manager. It is designed to be a supportive and collaborative environment where alumni can thrive and continue their journey toward success.
Through these initiatives, CIS is building a robust support system for our alumni, ensuring they have the resources, skills, and community connections needed to achieve their goals and make a meaningful impact in their lives and communities.
