Inside every student is a graduate.

What We Do

Year after year, Communities In Schools of Richmond (CIS) keeps students in school and on track for graduation.

Different kids have different needs. Some need academic help; some need a stable home and food on the table or someone who will listen and help guide the way. Others just need a pair of eyeglasses to stay on track at school.

CIS supports K-12 students in 39 Richmond City and Henrico County high poverty neighborhood schools. Through early interventions and enrichment opportunities, CIS works with the community inside schools to help students succeed.

How We Do It

From kindergarten through high school graduation, we are guided by a set of 5 Basics—essentials that result in healthy development. When these basics are present, kids find success. Working alongside school staff, parents, volunteers, and business partners, Communities In Schools of Richmond extends the 5 Basics to as many students as possible.

  1. One-on-one relationship with a caring adult.
  2. Safe place to learn and grow.
  3. Healthy start and a healthy future.
  4. Marketable skill to use upon graduation.
  5. Chance to give back to peers and community.

What exactly is an essay writer? An essay writer is somebody who is trained in the art of essay writing – basically academic essays. They have a special skill set which makes them well suited to both detailed analysis and fairly simple research. Their work will range from working for a single person or a company to working on a freelance basis.
