Investing in Every Student's Potential
CIS is the nation's largest and most effective organization dedicated to keeping kids in school and helping them succeed in life.
By bringing caring adults into the schools to address children’s unmet needs, CIS provides the link between educators and the community.
CIS helps make sure that every student has what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond. We walk by their side, in their communities, to navigate barriers that stand between them and their success in life.
Student Success Lasts a Lifetime
Our evidence-based model connects students to caring adults and community resources to transform how they see and experience the world around them. By surrounding them with a network of trust they can turn to no matter where they are in their journey, we empower students to confront and overcome personal challenges and any barriers they may experience—so they can take charge of the future they want for themselves, their communities and each other.
