The mission of Communities In Schools of Kansas (CIS of Kansas) is to champion the connection of needed community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.
CIS of Kansas is the state office that supports eight local CIS affiliates throughout the state of Kansas. In the 2006-2007 school year, approximately 14,000 students were supported through CIS services, and thousands more were touched through school wide events.
Communities In Schools is the nations largest dropout prevention organization. CIS serves as a bridge between schools and businesses, faith groups, and nonprofit agencies, identifying and mobilizing local resources to provide a range of services. Some services may include mentoring, tutoring, health care, summer and after-school programs, family counseling, service learning, and more.
