WELCOME TO COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF JACKSONVILLE

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.
