Episode 30! We’ve made it, and we’ve officially made it to March, which celebrates many things including Women’s History Month which you can hear throughout this episode, National Social Work month and the first day of Spring. With that comes a busy time for students across the country, so we were honored to welcome on Clinton Reynolds, Vice President of Programming at Communities in Schools of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, or CIS for short.

Clinton is a servant leader in the education and mental health community who chooses to connect daily with his inner teacher and mentor. He has a passion for unraveling the great potential in today's youth through education, exposure, and compassion.

In this episode, we dive into the state of adolescents and kids and families, how it connects to mental health and what Clinton see through his work at CIS. We will also take a broader look at the state of kids and schools and communities in today’s world.

After working as a high school instructor in Charlotte, Clinton spent more than four years in the residential setting leading the education department before returning to teaching. He shares what he was able to learn from both environments and how much being an educator prepared him for working with youth in need.

As Clinton said, students and kids need a caring adult. He has certainly been that through the relationships he has built which has allowed him to become the leader he is today.
