Communities in Schools Gulf South

Description

CIS is the nation’s largest and most effective dropout prevention organization and the only one proven to both decrease dropout rates and increases graduation rates. Communities In Schools of the Gulf South provides case management and wrap-around services to over 1,600 students per year. Our case-managed students are the most at-risk students at the schools in which we work. These students may include those who are homeless, living in poverty, have been exposed to trauma, and/or identified as part of a special population. Despite the very real obstacles they face, our case-managed students are succeeding, and our staff help empower them to do so.
