What is Communities in Schools?

CIS brings hands in need together with hands that can help. CIS is a process that connects community resources with students and their families at the school site to ensure that youth stay in school, learn needed skills, and are prepared to enter the world of work or post secondary education upon graduation.

Our Mission

To champion the connection of needed community resources with schools and other sites to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.

Communities In Schools brings the "Five Basics" into the school

1. A Personal One-on-One Relationship with a Caring Adult
2. A Safe Place To Learn and Grow
3. A Marketable Skill to Use Upon Graduation
4. A Chance to Give Back to Peers and Community
5. A Healthy Start and A Healthy Future
