In this episode of the Just Say Something Podcast, Phil Clark talks with Laura Allen Kerlin from Communities In Schools of South Carolina about how surrounding students with consistent, caring support helps them stay in school and succeed in life. Laura explains how Communities In Schools partners directly with Title I schools to provide on-campus support through site coordinators who address attendance, basic needs, mental health, and long-term student success.

Laura shares what a typical day looks like inside schools, from one-on-one case management to small groups and school-wide initiatives, and why relationships are at the heart of everything they do. She highlights the importance of being a trusted adult for students who may be facing barriers at home, at school, or in their communities.

The conversation also touches on success stories, including graduation outcomes, workforce connections, and students giving back to their schools. The episode closes with a look at Communities In Schools’ future growth across South Carolina and a reminder that when communities come together, students do not have to navigate challenges alone.
