Communities In Schools
Every student deserves an equitable opportunity to succeed in school and fulfill their potential. And yet, in America, nearly 13 million children live in poverty and face significant barriers to earning a high school diploma. Students from low-income communities are twice as likely to drop out of school, and children of color are often disproportionately impacted by this reality.
Whether it’s hunger, homelessness, emotional trauma, or a lack of access to basic medical care, students shouldn’t have to face these challenges alone. At Communities In Schools, we amplify the power of each student’s potential through an evidence-based model rooted in caring relationships.
