Get Involved
You Can Help!
In Nevada, 94 students are dropping out every school day. That means more than 23,900 Nevada students per year will end up in poor health, in low-paying jobs, relying on government assistance and more likely to end up incarcerated or a teen parent.
Schools alone cannot solve the dropout crisis. Children need families and communities advocating for them too. You, your friends, family and employer can make a difference by speaking up. There are multiple ways that you can get involved within our community.

Join the Letter Writing Campaign
Congress is working to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which represents the federal government’s largest commitment to K-12 education. The reauthorization of this legislation provides an amazing opportunity to generate significant support for the Communities In Schools network.
We are working to amend the ESEA to include a competitive grant that would fund nonprofits and schools working together to provide integrated student services. This proposal, if included in the legislation, would allow Communities In Schools’ local affiliates to effectively compete for federal resources to fund their work in schools.

Write to Your Representatives
To make sure all of Nevada’s children are receiving the support they need to stay in school and graduate, we need to make sure that the education of our youth is the top priority of our legislators. By writing to your representative, you can make it clear that the future of our youth needs to be their top priority. Speak up for the thousands of Nevada children who will not make it to their high school graduation.
