WELCOME TO COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF JACKSONVILLE

Since 1990, Communities In Schools of Jacksonville has helped more than 110,000 individual students. Many of our students face serious challenges, ranging from hunger to homelessness. Our staff works both inside and outside the classroom to help these students find new paths to success through our case management, literacy tutoring, and afterschool programs. Help us support these students by donating today.

PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT

In Duval County, approximately 1 in 4 children under 18 live in poverty. Students are facing homelessness, racial inequity, hunger, and mental health challenges. By helping our most vulnerable students stay in school and succeed in life, we are building a stronger, healthier and more economically stable community where every person is capable of reaching their greatest potential.

Our results speak for themselves. Learn more about our success last school year through our annual report.
