Inspired By Excellence & Innovation
The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
WHY COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOL?
Communities In Schools (CIS) believes that caring, one-on-one relationships between adults and young people make the crucial difference. Programs don’t change kids – relationships do. CIS creates comprehensive, locally controlled and owned support systems around schools. In partnership with the local system, CIS identifies the most critical needs of students and families – needs that are preventing children from succeeding in school, and in life.
CIS fuels personal potential, so every student can take charge of their story and define their success for life.
WE’RE BUILDING A POWERFUL CHANGE MOVEMENT.
At Communities In Schools® (CIS™), we believe that every student, regardless of race, gender, ability, zip code, or socioeconomic background has what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond.
We walk by their side, in their communities, to challenge the systems and barriers that stand between them and their success in life.
OUR VALUES
#AllInForKids
Bring communities of support to our students, in schools and beyond
Our unique model centers on having a dedicated, full-time social service professional on every campus we serve. We build relationships with businesses, volunteers, and partners to bring community resources to the school campus. These additional supports allow us to ensure that students get the exact services they need.
