What CIS Does
Communities In Schools prepares kids for life.
We bring resources, services, business partners, parents and volunteers into public schools within our community. We meet children's needs so they can concentrate on learning. We free teachers so they can teach and we create a safe environment.
Communities In Schools is the connection, bringing a team of caring adults right into the school building to help kids prepare for life.
Communities In Schools believes that children need and deserve the resources that make the difference between a graduate and a dropout.
The "Five Basics:"
- A personal one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
