Communities in School

For more than 25 years, Communities In Schools has helped students choose success by ensuring their access to the “Five Basics:”
  1. A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
  2. A safe place to learn and grow
  3. A healthy start and a healthy future
  4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation
  5. A chance to give back to peers and community
Each year, more than 2 million young people in 28 states have access to service through Communities In Schools.
