Our Success
Welcome from the Executive Director

Debbie Breeze Welcome to Communities In Schools of Leon County!

Communities In Schools is the nation's leading community-based organization helping kids stay in school and prepare for life. Since opening its doors in Leon County in 1997, we have invested more than $2 million toward programs that support the needs of at-risk students in our community.

  • When it comes to helping kids, CIS has a track record that focuses on results:
  • We provide access to services for over 1,500 young people on an annual basis.
  • We celebrate student success: increased graduation rates, stay in school rates, increased attendance, and better academic performance.
  • We form effective partnerships and create unique programs with companies and organizations.
  • We have more than 30 years of national experience with programs and activities in over 30 states.
As Bill Milliken, our founder, says, "Programs don't change children... relationships do." Communities In Schools has transformed that unique philosophy into thousands of student success stories in our community. As you review our web site, I hope you will choose to be a part of our success stories!

Respectfully,
