Communities In Schools of the Midlands is a small organization based in Columbia, South Carolina, active in five schools in the Columbia and Lexington area. It aims to keep students in school and help them prepare for life after graduation by building a community of support around each student. Through site coordinators, volunteers, and staff, the group fosters trusted relationships intended to sustain student engagement and guide them toward future success. Operating within the education administration sector, it functions as the local arm of a national effort to improve student outcomes by reducing dropout rates. The organization relies on partnerships with schools and community volunteers to deliver targeted support where it is most needed. A notable development in its recent history is a 2020 collaboration with Colonial Life to promote workforce readiness for high school students in Richland County.
