Wraparound services remove barriers so K-12 students can focus on learning. Communities In Schools of Richmond explores workforce development for life after high school.
The Community Schools model challenges a traditional vision of K-12 schools by offering wraparound services to meet the holistic needs of children, families, and communities.
Huguenot High School, at the moment, requires our empathy and all the supportive energy we can muster. But make no mistake: Its anxieties mirror our own and school communities well beyond it.
In the weeks and days leading up to Richmond area students entering a new school year, several churches, businesses and other organizations stepped up to provide backpacks, clothing, shoes, lunchboxes and even cash in an effort to ensure that children have the basics for learning.

A foursome of local nonprofits is shacking up in Manchester.
The Boys and Girls Club, First Tee of Greater Richmond, Communities In Schools of Richmond, and Higher Achievement’s Richmond office are moving in together this summer into a shared 15,000-square-foot headquarters building at 100 Everett St.
The old warehouse building will be redeveloped to serve as administrative offices (dubbed “neighborhoods”) for each organization, and will also feature shared training and meeting spaces in a bid to create more cost-efficient and collaborative operations.
