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!
