Communities in Schools
They are part of the nation's leading dropout prevention organization, working in public schools to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. In Federal Way last year, their site coordinators helped 2,700 students overcome barriers to success, stay on track to graduate, and aim for a brighter future.

My Mom mentored a Federal Way student for many years, impacting this young girl's life, and ultimately impacting her future positively. Both her and her Mom spoke at my Mom's memorial service, with tears in their eyes, attempting to convey the influence she had on both of them. If compelled, reach out, volunteer, or donate in my Mom's honor.
