Mission Statement
The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Description
CIS has more than 40 years of consistent, compelling data demonstrating the positive impact at both the student and school-wide levels. Communities In Schools 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.
