Communities In Schools offers an individualized approach to help children overcome roadblocks – opening doors that would otherwise be unachievable or unimaginable.

~Phyllis Campbell, CEO (former) Seattle Foundation

Different kids have different needs. Some need academic help; some need a stable home and food on the table, or someone who will listen and help guide the way. Others just need a pair of eyeglasses.

Helping kids move beyond their circumstances requires an individualized approach, not one-size-fits-all. We treat young people as individuals and coordinate support around their specific needs.

Coordinated, individualized approach; it’s what makes us effective.

Our approach to communities is the same – different communities have different needs and priorities. That’s why our services vary. Throughout Washington our services are a mix of the following:

Non-academic assistance: Connecting young people with a host of services — healthcare, housing, nutrition — resulting in students more prepared to learn.

One-to-one mentoring: Instilling the confidence to succeed, the belief that education creates opportunity, and setting the expectation for success.

Tutoring and academic support: Increasing academic performance and building confidence.

Family assistance & parent engagement: Ensuring children have a supportive home life, and that parents have access to the services they need.

Out-of-school enrichment & service learning: Strengthening the resiliency of children to succeed by expanding their understanding of what the world has to offer.
