CCISD employees and community volunteers came together in hopes out-of-school youth took a step in the educational direction on Sept. 21.

The annual K.E.Y.S. Walk is aimed at connecting educators and youth who have not yet returned to school. Teams of volunteers spread across the city knocking on doors to speak with families and students to reconnect them to education opportunities. The event brought 140 volunteers who visited 235 visits. They made contact with 64 students and parents. #ThePowerWithin
