2018-19 Mapping and Behavior Coordinator - Higher Ground

Higher Ground A Resource Center’s mission is empowering one life at a time to reach, transform, and elevate the community through love and building character. For 10 years Higher Ground has provided behavioral health and social-emotional learning to critically at-risk youth suffering from the effects of childhood trauma and poverty. Higher Ground places VISTA members at schools across Tucson to help transform them into community schools. Community schools are school-based resource hubs that enhance access to services, using an integrated approach to academics, health, social services, youth development, and community engagement. Research shows that this site-based delivery model leads to increased academic performance, higher family engagement, and healthier communities. In 2015, the Tucson Community Schools Initiative was born to address the needs of youth growing up in Tucson. In its first two years the initiative worked with high schools to adopt a community school model, aiming to improve high school graduation rates and connect students to post-graduation opportunities. Now in its fourth year, the initiative has grown into middle schools across the city and local organizations, with efforts focused on combating chronic absenteeism and creating greater opportunities for students in the community.
