Helping kids stay in school and prepare for life.
Advocate
Why become an advocate? Because we can’t do it alone!
Young people are falling through the cracks and they need more than just schools. They need families and communities who are there for them. Please encourage your colleagues, friends and family to get involved and be the voices that make a difference. Talking about this issue is the first step to fixing it!
By joining the Communities In Schools Advocacy Network, you will help us make sure that these issues are front and center with legislators, schools and businesses.
