Alumni Activation and Resource Guide
Alumni are the true measure of Communities In Schools’ success.
This guide is designed to support your efforts to increase your engagement with the CIS alumni community.

Through this guide, you can:
- Find promising practices for engaging alumni,
- Identify your level of alumni engagement,
- Explore best practice case studies, and
- Connect with network trailblazers.
