Founded in the 1970s, Communities In Schools of Brunswick County operates on the premise that relationships drive student success, not programs alone. It emphasizes pairing students with caring adults and providing a safe place to learn, healthy beginnings, marketable skills, and opportunities to contribute to peers and the community. Based in Southport, North Carolina, the organization coordinates five core services—before/after school programs, teen and peer court, parenting education, adopt-a-school and volunteer partnerships, and an Action for Success dropout prevention initiative—within the education administration field. Its work focuses on students, families, and schools, aiming to improve school engagement and long-term outcomes through community involvement. The affiliate has earned national recognition for stewardship and impact, including inclusion in Worth magazine’s list of top 100 charities in America. In 2024, two of its thrift shops were honored with Golden Pineapple Awards, reflecting community engagement beyond its direct program work.
