What is Communities In Schools?
Communities In Schools (CIS) is a private, nonprofit organization that connects much needed community resources with students struggling for any reason in today's challenging world. We utilize the power of partnerships to serve students, parents, schools and communities, delivering services directly to students or finding appropriate referral services.
Why CIS?
Measurable results show it works!
In an independent study
performed by the Florida Chamber
of Commerce Cornerstone
Foundation, it was recommended "every community in Florida
should have a CIS program."
How Does CIS Work?
CIS works with principals, teachers,
counselors, students and parents to
develop a comprehensive strategy
to assist students by bringing
community resources into the
schools where they are needed
most, during or after school hours.
| “Communities In Schools has been instrumental in helping us strengthen the support from our communities for the success of our students.” |

Dr. John Ruis, Superintendent,
Nassau County Schools
