Communities In Schools of Durham

Communities In Schools of Durham is part of a national organization that operates a model of dropout prevention proven effective, cost-efficient, and sustainable. Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

At Communities In Schools everything we do is guided by the five basics, a set of essentials that every child needs and deserves; a one-on-one relationship with a caring adult, a safe place to learn and grow, a healthy start and a healthy future, a marketable skill to use upon graduation, and a chance to give back to peers and the community.
