Mission Statement and Five Basics

The mission of Communities In Schools (CIS) is to connect needed community resources with young people in schools to help them learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.

Communities In Schools (CIS) believes that all students need and deserve five basic resources to succeed in school and in life:

• A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
• A safe place to learn and grow
• A healthy start – a healthy future
• A marketable skill to use upon graduation
• A chance to give back to peers and community
