This year, Communities In Schools of Michigan stood alongside more than 38,000 students in 73 schools, providing the wraparound supports they need to stay on the path to success. From one-on-one case management to schoolwide enrichment, our team delivered over 17,438 hours of support that helped students achieve a 90% promotion rate. These numbers reflect more than outcomes—they represent the resilience and determination of Michigan’s young people, and the collective effort of staff, partners, and communities who believe in them.

One of the most inspiring highlights was the growth of Student Voices for Healthy Choices, which empowered 274 students in 29 schools to design wellness projects for their peers—from smoothie stations and yoga events to new playground spaces. As one student reflected, “It feels good that we're taking care of our school and making a better and more healthier school.” Stories like these remind us that when students are given the opportunity to lead, they gain confidence, agency, and a sense of possibility. With gratitude for our partners, staff, and supporters, we look forward to building on this momentum to ensure every student in Michigan has the chance to thrive.
