We are an affiliate of the nation's largest dropout prevention organization.
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.
By bringing caring adults and resources into the schools to address children's unmet needs, Communities In Schools provides the link between educators and the community. The result: teachers are free to teach, and students—many in jeopardy of dropping out—have the opportunity to focus on learning.
Communities In Schools is the nation's largest dropout prevention organization, working in schools across the country to surround students with a community of support. Our evidence-based model has been proven to increase graduation rates and improve student outcomes.
