About Us


Who We Are

Communities In Schools of Leon County began in 1997 to connect community resources with schools to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, graduate and prepare for life. We are actively involved in working with at-risk students from the kindergarten level through high school.



Our Mission

The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our mission is clear, and our assessment, collaboration and results-based planning process has made CIS the nation's leading community-based drop-out prevention program. We are actively involved in working with at-risk students from kindergarten through high school.



Our Vision

Supporting and encouraging at-risk students in Leon County to ensure that everyone graduates.



Five Basics for Communities In Schools

Communities In Schools believes that every child needs and deserves these "Five Basics":

  1. A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
  2. A safe place to learn and grow
  3. A healthy start and a healthy future
  4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation
  5. A chance to give back to peers and community

All local CIS programs are designed to provide students with at least one of these real basics.



The Schools We Serve

For nearly a decade, CIS Leon has grown into a viable program that serves approximately 1,500 students at eleven (11) school sites in the community.
