Overcoming Obstacles: CIS Success Stories December 2011
December 21, 2011
From Wilkes County to Mecklenburg County to Moore County to Orange County... from Guilford County to New Hanover County to Stokes County to Robeson County... from Lee County to Brunswick County to Clay County... what a year it's been capturing the faces of CIS! Take a moment and see again the familiar faces of our CIS Family. These are the children, young people, mentors and adults whose lives are changed by being part of Communities In Schools. We hope you enjoy this year-end medley featuring familiar and never-before-seen footage from all of our "Overcoming Obstacles: CIS Success Stories" videos. Your support of CIS helps kids across the state overcome all kinds of obstacles and realize their dreams. Their success means a better future for all of us. We thank you.
"For the past year I have been the man behind the camera who has brought this series to life. I have asked a lot of questions this year. Who are you? What are your fears? What gives you joy? What do you want for these kids? What could have made your childhood better? All these were meant to address the larger question: What is CIS? Or better, who is CIS?," writes multimedia producer Justin Cook, who produced the CISNC "Overcoming Obstacles" video series this year. Enjoy reading his reflections on the "humbling privilege" it has been to tell the stories behind Communities In Schools of North Carolina.
