Our Partnership Models

Expand What Works

While the rigor of our model is consistent, we recognize the needs of schools are unique. Through a licensed partnership, we work alongside state education agencies, school districts, and community-based organizations to take what’s already working for students in schools to the next level.

Whether the goal is to monitor student progress or more effectively coordinate community resources, Communities In Schools^® (CIS^®) provides the training and technical assistance needed to grow capacity and increase impact. Our licensed partnerships are self-sustaining, allowing for flexibility to expand efforts to the schools and communities that need it most.

Unlocking Public Dollars for Local Impact

In February 2023, CIS announced an unprecedented $165 million philanthropic investment that matches public sector funds to bring CIS’ in-school, integrated student supports services to Title-I schools across the country. This fund will be available to school districts that plan to invest in implementing the CIS model of integrated student supports.
