About CIS

Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization. In more than 200 communities across 27 states, it works closely with schools, social services, businesses and volunteers to get young people the things they need to learn and grow: after-school help and family services to stabilize the home. Without these basic supports, kids in need or at-risk are far less likely to succeed and grow into productive adults.
