About Communities In Schools
At Communities In Schools® (CIS®), we believe that every student, regardless of their background or circumstances, should have what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond. CIS connects students to the people and resources inside their school that help them show up ready to learn.
Get Involved
It's a new school year, and your gift makes sure a caring adult is there for students from day one — showing up, believing in them, and helping them stay on track for graduation, all year long.
Together, We Can Be Present in Schools
Chronic absenteeism has many causes. Communities In Schools addresses it with one solution: trained, caring adults—site coordinators—who work inside schools to remove the barriers keeping students from showing up.
Our evidence-based model of integrated student supports (ISS) puts CIS staff directly in schools, connecting students and families to the community resources and partners they need.
That means administrators can focus on running the school. Teachers can focus on teaching. And students have someone in their corner.
