| Communities In Schools (CIS) is the nation's largest and most effective dropout prevention organization, helping young people stay in school, successfully learn, and prepare for life by connecting needed community resources with schools. By forming partnerships with human service agencies, businesses, civic groups, faith communities, and individual volunteers, CIS connects children and families to the relationships and resources they need to be successful. CIS of Charlotte-Mecklenburg currently serves more than 5,000 students annually in 42 selected Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. |
The scope of current CIS programming includes school-based dropout prevention for grades K-12; college access and career exploration; support for teen mothers balancing the challenges of childcare and high school graduation; and working with youthful offenders housed at Jail North to continue their education.
