Communities in Schools

What is Communities in Schools?

Communities in Schools is the nation's leading dropout prevention organization. Their mission is simple, "to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life." Communities in Schools believes that every young person needs and deserves:

• a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult

• a safe place to learn and grow

• a healthy start and healthy future

• a marketable skill to use upon graduation

• a chance to give back to peers and the community

​
