Communities In Schools understands that schools can't do it alone. Our school-based coordinators work directly with challenged students and connect them with mentors and tutors, social services, healthcare, nutrition and other services. In the schools we serve our help results in higher graduation rates and increased proficiency in math and reading. This PSA was made possible by the generous support of Comcast Cable and was created and produced by Mark Notermann. Tremendous thanks for helping Communities In Schools address the dropout rate one child at a time!
