CIS Mission

To champion the connection of needed community resources with schools and other sites to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.

CISNC achieves this mission by: replicating the CIS concept and community-organizing process in new communities; actively supporting and responding to the needs of existing local programs; building strong, effective relationships with other statewide organizations; and advocating statewide for North Carolina's youth and their families.

Communities In Schools helps kids stay in school and prepare for life.

The solution to student underachievement and our school dropout problem requires a commitment from all community members - parents, social service providers, businesses, civic organizations, local government and educators. Accordingly, CIS brings resources, services, business partners, parents, and volunteers into our public schools and after-school sites across North Carolina.

The resources and people that CIS connects with the schools are often already in place in the community. But are they in the right place? Such resources are usually found outside the school building...across town...open during business (and school) hours only. Communities In Schools is the connector, bringing a team of caring adults into the school building to help kids prepare for life. What do children need from the community? How It Works>>>
