Communities In Schools of New Mexico is the New Mexico state affiliate of Communities In Schools, a nationwide effort focused on preventing student dropout. Based in Santa Fe, the organization operates within the civic and social sector to support students and schools in the region. With a small-to-mid-sized footprint, it coordinates with communities to address educational challenges at the local level. Its work centers on helping students remain in school and supporting educational institutions in their dropout-prevention goals. A notable development in its more recent activity was the November 2020 launch of a Distance Learning Reward Program, created to motivate students to engage in online learning with sponsorship from local businesses. The program illustrates the organization's role as a community partner in education within New Mexico.
