"Marlene keeps telling people how much I've grown up and what I've achieved, I’m not sure if she realizes that a lot of it is because of her."
~Gayle

Communities In Schools is a great way for YOU to invest, through direct action, in the future of young people and the future of your community. Often all it takes is one hour a week.

You can help in the following ways:

Change a young life for the better. The single most important factor in whether a child makes it or not is the involvement of a caring adult. You can be that caring adult. We're experts at recruiting, training and organizing mentors and tutors  - Join us!

At 18, Angelica was pregnant, jobless, homeless and a dropout. She tried to return to school, but found it hard to balance classes and a baby while trying to make ends meet. Angelica’s teacher learned of her situation, and contacted a Communities In Schools resource provider.
