Communities In Schools of Atlanta

Thanks to the generous support of Clark Construction Group two of our CIS of Atlanta alums, MiQyra Galimore and Aliza Gurung, had the chance to travel to Croatia with the Global Youth Leadership Academy this summer. They joined teens from across the country, spending the week participating in educational programs focused on global and cultural awareness, leadership development, communication, and inter-personal growth. We are so grateful for our partnership with Clark Construction and their commitment to positively changing the lives of the students we serve.

Our CEO Frank Brown recently traveled to Harvard Business School to help teach the “Strategic Perspectives in Non-Profit Management” program at the Harvard Business School along with Communities In Schools national President and CEO Rey Saldaña. Communities In Schools of Atlanta is a national model of success, inspiring a 2023 Harvard Business School case study on successful nonprofit leadership. Cheers to our CEO for inspiring future nonprofit leaders by carrying out a powerful mission to keep all students on the track to graduation.
