Communities In Schools (CIS) is an organization that works on school campuses to help students overcome obstacles that interfere with them being successful at school. CIS helps students with things such as basic needs that can include clothing, supplies, hygiene items, etc. and connects them with community resources to help meet their needs. We help connect students with vision and other health providers, as well as mental health/counseling services. We can help provide transportation to these appointments as well. CIS also helps students who are struggling in any way to get back on track by giving them one-on-one guidance and support. CIS will also work with the school/counselors to develop school wide activities/events that will address subjects such as college and career readiness, or personal safety topics. Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, impowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
