Communities in Schools (CIS) is a non- profit organization that encourages at-risk students to remain in school by providing and coordinating social services that meet their physical and emotional needs. CIS Houston is the oldest and the largest school dropout prevention programs in Texas. We provide our program year-round to at risk children and their families. CIS has 100 programs in elementary, middle, and high schools in four school districts: Houston, Spring Branch, Alief, and Fort Bend.

CIS offers six core services at the school campus: Tutoring/Mentoring, Supportive Guidance, Parental Involvement, Cultural Enrichment, Career Awareness, and Referrals to Other Social Services. This holistic approach to dropout prevention addresses the physical, emotional, and academic needs of at-risk children and provides them with a ‘safety net’ at the school site.
