Communities In Schools (CIS) is the nation's largest dropout prevention organization. Communities In Schools champions the connection of needed community resources with schools to help students successfully learn, remain in school and prepare for life.

Welcome to CIS of the Midlands

Communities In Schools’ mission is pretty simple – to surround students with a community of support, and empower them to stay in school and achieve in life.

We are 5,000 professionals and 65,000 volunteers on the ground, working in more than 3,200 K-12 public schools, in the most challenged communities, in 26 states, and the District of Columbia, serving nearly 1.4 million young people and their families every year.

Through a school-based coordinator, Communities In Schools connects students and their families to critical community resources, tailored to local needs.
