The Prince George’s County Department of Social Services (PGCDSS) functions as the lead agency for the Community Resource Advocate Program under the TNI@School: Prince George's Community Schools Network. This program places full time Department employees called Community Resource Advocates or CRAs in 40 schools located in the TNI neighborhoods identified by the County and School System as needing additional supports.
The Community Resource Advocate Program is designed to ensure that families receive services and supports necessary to address social and/or emotional issues that may negatively affect a child’s ability to attend school fully available to learn.
Once a Community Resource Advocate (CRA) determines the needs of the student and family, their main role is to connect children, youth, and families to services and supports both inside and outside the Department.
