Joan Benner Fuller Scholarship Fund
On October 11, 2011, long-term board member and program chair Joan Benner Fuller was tragically killed in a car accident in California. Joan had an enormous passion for, and commitment to, the students of Communities In Schools Lehigh Valley. CIS was one of a small number of organizations designated by Joan’s family to receive memorial gifts.
To honor Joan and create a legacy that will continue her commitment to the students, the Communities In Schools staff and board have created the Joan Benner Fuller Scholarship Fund. We hope that by doing so, her impact on the long-term success of our students can continue and become a permanent part of the organization she cared so deeply about.
We ask that you help us to create this fund by making a contribution to Communities In Schools Lehigh Valley in memory of Joan. Follow the link on the right side that says “Donate Now”.

The Economic Impact of Communities In Schools
An economic impact quantifying the costs and benefits of Communities In Schools model.
Communities In Schools contracted with EMSI to specify its economic and social returns to society through a rigorous third-party investment analysis. The purpose of this important next step is to quantify the return on investment of Communities In Schools’ 113 high school-serving affiliates in its network to taxpayers, businesses, and students. The analysis also shows the economic benefits when local affiliates go from implementing parts of the Communities In Schools model in some of their high schools to full implementation in all of their high schools.
