Description
Five Basis
CIS activities are guided by five basic principles. They are--every child needs and deserves:
* A one-on one relationship with a caring adult
* A safe place to learn and grow
* A healthy start and healthy future
*A marketable skill to use upon graduation
*A chance to give back to peer and community
Our Strategy
Communities in Schools works with each of its partner schools to understand the unmet needs of its students and the challenges of the school community. With this information, CIS works tirelessly to develop partnerships with community and faith -based organizations, corporations, and caring individuals to meet those needs. CIS is the link between schools and the community.
