Our mission is to bring the community together to
reduce violence, promote peace, and create safer
environments for the maximum development of children
and young adults at risk in their lives.
Our vision is to mobilize our communities at the grass
roots level to influence policy, develop leaders and
resources that sustain peace efforts, and provide quality
education and career opportunities for all young people.

     Communities in Schools believes that every child needs and deserves these “FIVE BASICS”:

 A personal, one on one relationship with a caring adult;
A safe place to learn and grow;
A healthy start – a healthy future;
A marketable skill to use upon graduation;
 A chance to give back to the community
Communities In Schools - Championing the connection of needed community resources with schools to help young people learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.
