Who We Are

For over 25 years, Communities In Schools (CIS) has championed the connection of needed community resources with schools. By bringing caring adults into the schools to address children's unmet needs, CIS provides the link between educators and the community. The result: Teachers are free to teach and students - many in jeopardy of dropping out - finally have the opportunity to focus on learning.
