COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF OHIO

Communities in Schools of Ohio delivers wraparound student support services within public school environments, focusing on removing non-academic barriers to learning. The organization implements evidence-based interventions including case management, mental health coordination, family engagement, and community resource linkage to promote student attendance, behavioral health, and academic success. Their technical expertise lies in social-emotional learning frameworks, trauma-informed care models, and collaborative service delivery systems that integrate school staff, local nonprofits, and public agencies. A key differentiator is their embedded model—placing dedicated coordinators directly inside schools to build trust and ensure culturally responsive, individualized support for at-risk youth. Award history does not include sufficient data to identify specific federal agencies or contract vehicles. Consequently, no formal agency relationships or procurement patterns can be confirmed from available records. The primary NAICS code 624190, “Other Community Social Services,” reflects a mission-driven focus on community-based youth and family support services outside traditional healthcare or institutional settings. In practice, this means the organization operates at the intersection of education and social services, specializing in school-linked interventions that align with Title I and McKinney-Vento program goals. Their market positioning centers on community capacity building rather than direct federal service contracting. Communities in Schools of Ohio is structured as a nonprofit entity under the 8H designation, indicating it is a small business owned by a socially and economically disadvantaged individual. The organization maintains its headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, with operations concentrated in public school districts across the state. While no federal certifications are listed, its operational model is grounded in compliance with state education codes and child welfare standards. Geographic presence is focused exclusively within Ohio’s K-12 public education system.
