Communities In Schools of Richmond is a nonprofit educational organization that surrounds students with a community of support to help them stay in school and succeed beyond. Operating in 40 schools across the City of Richmond and Henrico County, the group identifies unmet needs faced by students and families and connects them to existing community resources, aiming to prevent factors that contribute to dropout rates. Its approach centers on five core elements: a safe place to learn, ongoing support from a caring adult, a healthy start, a marketable skill upon graduation, and opportunities to contribute to peers and the broader community. Based in Richmond, Virginia, the organization targets high-poverty neighborhoods to assist some of the area’s most vulnerable students. The organization positions itself within the education administration programs sector by coordinating partnerships and services to address basic needs that impact learning, rather than delivering duplicative services. }
