CIS Mission
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. 

CIS of North Carolina Established in 1989
CISNC is an independently incorporated not-for-profit directed by our own board of directors representing both private and public interests in the state. CISNC assists North Carolina communities in replicating the CIS process of coordinated service delivery, supports the thirty-one local CIS organizations across the state, and advocates for children, youth, and their families. CISNC provides regional and on-site training and technical assistance, builds partnerships with state agencies and organizations to benefit young people, and serves as a resource and information center for local communities concerned about youth at risk of school failure. 

Communities In Schools is the nation’s largest stay-in school network, serving just over one million youth in 154 communities across the United States. CIS is providing the link between teachers and the community – by bringing caring adults into the schools and community sites to meet children’s needs. This link gives children the much-needed opportunity to focus on learning and their future. CIS National assists CISNC with training, technical assistance and network opportunities.
