Julian Robertson, former board member and now National Leadership Council member, was one of the earliest supporters of Communities In Schools. The Robertson Foundation has provided major support to grow and strengthen the entire Communities In Schools Network. "Early on, I also met a man named Bill Milliken, who in my opinion is the greatest venture capitalist in the good-works field. He was a refugee of the gang warfare which existed in Pittsburgh and New York and became an incredible leader with his Communities In Schools, which is now in 26 states and in 3,400 schools serving 1.4 million children annually."
