Communities in Schools (CIS) is a nonprofit organization focused on helping students succeed in school and life by connecting them with essential resources and support. It operates by placing professionals within schools to identify and address students' academic, social, and emotional needs. By fostering partnerships with local businesses, families, and community organizations, CIS provides mentorship, tutoring, health services, and basic needs assistance, creating a supportive environment that helps reduce dropout rates and promotes academic achievement. Ultimately, the goal of CIS is to ensure that every student has the support necessary to thrive in their education and beyond.
