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
A Coordinated, Individualized Approach…. That’s What Makes Us Effective.
Different kids have different needs. Some need academic help, some need a stable home and food on the table, or simply someone who will listen and help guide the way. 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.
