Communities In Schools Of Tacoma

Communities In Schools of Tacoma is part of the nation's leading dropout prevention organization working in Tacoma Public Schools to help students overcome barriers to success and stay on track to graduate. 

Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. We do this by providing the Five Basics.

We believe that every child needs and deserves:

1. A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult

2. A safe place to learn and grow

3. A healthy start and a healthy future

4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation

5. A chance to give back to peers and community
