Our Mission
Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
The Problem
The education playing field is not level for all students, even before the first day of class. Race, English proficiency, income, and other environmental factors all contribute to why individuals may face opportunity gaps throughout their lives, hindering them from achieving the same academic success as their peers.
We must close the opportunity gap in education if we want to close achievement gaps and this is where our work comes in.
How We Help Students
Communities In Schools of Renton-Tukwila is dedicated to empowering students to stay in school and on a path to a brighter future. Working directly inside 22 schools in the Renton, Tukwila, and Lake Washington school districts, we connect kids to caring adults and community resources designed to help them succeed.
