    Default job background
    Description


    Rooted in community for more than 40 years, Communities In Schools (CIS) strives to bring community resources inside public schools, where they are accessible, coordinated, and accountable.

    Founder Bill Milliken said, "It's relationships, not programs, that change children. A great program simply creates the environment for healthy relationships to form between adults and children.

    Young people thrive when adults care about them on a one-to-one level, and when they also have a sense of belonging to a caring community.

    "

    CIS programs are conducted annually throughout the United States, serving 3,270 schools; 1.8M students with over 15,000 community volunteers and 118 CIS affiliate organizations across the country.

    Their programs for students include providing needs assessments, support teams with corresponding plans to address academic and non-academic needs, delivery of multiple tiers of support for both students and families, progress monitoring and evaluation and assessment with parents and student support systems.


    MISSION AND VALUES
    Communities In Schools (CIS) is "all-in" for kids. It is our passion—it is our mission.

    At the National Office, CIS collaborates with local affiliate organizations to provide resources and create communities of caring adults who work hand-in-hand with educators to make sure young people have the tools they need to stay in school and achieve in life.

    We are the nation's largest dropout prevention organization, and we achieve our mission by hiring bright, creative, and innovative team members who demonstrate a passion for what they do.


    CIS also holds the following talent beliefs:
    Every staff member is passionate and committed to the mission.
