Communities In Schools brings a remarkable efficiency to service delivery because we approach our work less as service providers and more as service brokers. In fact, for every paid staff person (state wide) we marshal the time, talent and energies of 37 volunteers. It's our emphasis on the coordination of services that distinguishes Communities In Schools from all other organizations and makes us so effective at what we do.

We help thousands of young people work toward a better future, but thousands more need our help. Fund an organization proven to make a difference.
