to unlock

potential.

At the beginning of his

freshman year, Jalen’s

ambition wavered. He lost

sight of his goals and found

himself straying from his path.

Toriano from Communities In

Schools became his trusted

guide, working with Jalen to

improve his attendance, raise

his GPA and set clear goals

for the future. Now a senior,

Jalen is a first-chair trombone

player and drum major in

his high school marching

band. He’s exploring musical

scholarship opportunities for

college, and he has dreams

of becoming a U.S. Marshal.

There are millions of at-risk

kids like Jalen who need a

caring adult to help them stay

in school and succeed in life.

See how we help

all kids succeed.
