Children First/Communities In Schools
Children First’s mission is to empower children and their
families to reach their full potential through advocacy,
education and services. The mission of Communities in
Schools is to surround students with a community of support,
empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

families who are living in poverty in Buncombe County. These
services include Success Coordinators at Johnston & Emma
Elementary School, the Family Resource Center at Emma,

Centers.
Along with our direct services, we also work at a local, state

decisions are made to support children & families living in
poverty.
