On this episode, I sat down with Cori Smith who is the Justice in the Schools (JTS) Project Director for Kansas City Public Schools. As a life long KC Metro resident, she talks about how Kansas City has changed over the years and expands on some of her reservations about this change. We talk about her love for supporting her community through non profits and how it led her to JTS, and how she sees where the project's future is headed. We also talk about her becoming the Central High School Volleyball coach and how her first season is going. #YCMWT
JTS is a joint project with Legal Aid of Western Missouri and the Kansas City Health Department. Through JTS, KCPS families have access to school-based legal clinics staffed by Legal Aid and volunteer attorneys that provide free, high-quality legal services.
