At Communities In Schools of Chesterfield, we surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our Site Coordinators work in 15 CCPS schools, alongside teachers and school staff, to remove barriers and help students reach their full potential.

Volunteers are vital to our mission, and we need your help! During our Volunteer Month in April, you can support our students through in-person opportunities.
