Unlocking a student’s potential.
Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Communities In SchoolsⓇ (CISTM) is a national organization that ensures every student, regardless of race, zip code, or socioeconomic background has what they need to realize their potential in school and beyond. Working directly inside 2,900 schools across the country, we connect students to caring adults and community resources that help them see, confront, and overcome the barriers that stand between them and a brighter future.
Together, we build a powerful change movement made up of peers, students, and alumni committed to shaping an equitable path to education for future generations.
