Our Model
For nearly 40 years, Communities In Schools has been helping students flourish and go on to bright futures. Local CIS affiliates bring our unique model to schools in their community by positioning site coordinators inside schools and partnering with local businesses, social service agencies, health care providers, and volunteers to provide students with exactly what they need. Whether it’s food, school supplies, health care, counseling, academic assistance or simply a positive role model, CIS is there to help. Our model is successful because of one simple tenet: Communities In Schools works with local communities to support local kids with local solutions.
