The mission of Communities In Schools (CIS) is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
How Communities In Schools Works
Communities In Schools helps students stay in school and make right choices by connecting schools with needed community resources. By bringing resources, services, parents, and volunteers into schools, we create a community of caring adults who work hand in hand with educators.
Communities In Schools helps communities assess the needs of their youth. We then design plans for meeting those needs, using existing resources. We connect young people with services in a variety of ways: In some schools, services are made available to all students and their families.
In other schools, Communities In Schools connects services with particular students in need, either on a one-time basis or as part of a carefully monitored case management system. Communities In Schools also brings community resources to students and families through after-school programs. We accomplish these tasks by bringing the "Five Basics" into the school.
