Our Partners
Our CHiL Afterschool Program proudly partners with Wheeling Community Consolidated School District 21 (Cooper Middle School, Holmes Middle School, London Middle School, and Whitman Elementary School) and OMNI.
HOSC School Programs
Our school programs provide equitable opportunities for low-income, high-risk elementary and middle school students to succeed in high school. These programs improve the grades, attendance, and social and emotional well-being of students – many of whom have limited English proficiency and receive special education – leading to successful transitions to high school. We achieve this by holistically addressing student and family needs with an integrated multi-tier support system combining tutoring, mentoring, behavioral health services, and case management in collaboration with community partners.
