- 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. "To see Jacob's patience with Samuel is amazing," says Cheryl. Jacob says he enjoys working with Samuel, and, “can definitely see a change. He interacts better with his peers and is able to stay focused on his work."
