Bridging relationships between schools, students and the community

At CISNC, we’re “all-in” for every student and will do whatever it takes to connect community resources, enhance educational success, and give every student a bright future. Our success centers on our commitment to building healthy, trusting relationships between adults and children – whether by providing homework help, behavioral intervention, counseling services and emotional support, or by meeting basic human needs such as food, clothing, and healthcare.

As part of the national Communities In Schools (CIS) network, Communities In Schools of North Carolina extends its resources and services to 18 independently operated affiliates across the state.  This network approach ensures we can harness the power of community resources at national and state levels while connecting children, families and schools to public and private sector resources in the local community. True to our mission, we surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. 

Established in 1989, Communities In Schools of North Carolina is having an impact. Our success is a reflection of  behaviors, principles, and practices that embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion.
