Why should we care?
SCS’s ability to provide a quality, equitable education is being undercut by high teacher turnover and year-long teaching vacancies, as well as significant maintenance deficiencies within the schools, all of which leads to higher financial, educational, and health costs. A lack of access to wraparound services provided by qualified social workers, psychologists, and nurses inhibits the successful treatment of trauma or Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). Abuse, neglect, and trauma significantly increase the likelihood of suspensions, juvenile criminal behavior, and incarceration. With a median age four years below the national average, Memphis’s population can support economic development, but only if we provide children in our community access to opportunities and support.

Our small, but hard-working teams still need more help. In particular, we need volunteers with:
- Enthusiasm to connect with media on a reliable basis.
- A good eye for design to create engaging graphics for our communications.
- Practical ideas for how to make registration at events more efficient (& the willingness to help make those ideas a reality).
We meet every third Wednesday, 6pm @ the Temple Israel Space in Crosstown.
