Community Learning Center Institute

What it reported doing in 2024

Clci employed 7 resource coordinators to provide full-time management and supervision of the community learning center partnerships at 7 cincinnati public schools (cps). The resource coordinators were responsible for ongoing development of services and programs that create the conditions necessary for children from preschool through high school to maximize their success in school and be ready for college and careers. Each of our sites includes on-site community partners who provide comprehensive health care, mental health counseling, after school programs, tutoring, and access to vision and dental care. As the stability of the family and the vitality of the community are also essential to a child's ability to succeed in school, our resource coordinators also developed partnerships that engage and support families and improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, from adult education classes to pathways to home ownership and employment. Our director of research and evaluation tracks data to ensure ongoing quality improvement. We have deepened our work with family well-being by adding welcome center directors at oyler and roberts. This person works individually with families to advance them and connect them to services in any way desired as the stability and well-being of the family impacts outcomes for children. This includes everything from driver's ed for parents, to adult esl classes, enrollment in college, and engaging families in school-based governance as well as helping families become first-time homebuyers.
