We are now Communities In Schools of Northeast Washington! Read about the change.

In recognition of the importance of addressing trauma in students, Avista Utilities Foundation has given Communities In Schools of Spokane County a grant of $60,000. This grant money will enable Communities In Schools to hire an employee with a MSW (master’s in social work).

There are not enough mental health/behavioral specialists in this region to meet the overwhelming needs of our youth. Avista Utilities Foundation has given Communities In Schools of Spokane County the means to make a huge impact on our children’s mental health and well-being.

Thank you, Avista Foundation!
