The CIS Mission
At Communities In Schools (CIS), we surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Student Support Specialists
Student Support Specialists provide case-managed services to students identified as being at-risk of dropping out, or in need of specific intervention services.
After School Programming
We support the needs of at-risk students and their families in a safe environment by providing free, positive, daily after-school programming to Pender County students.
CIS Restorative Justice Programs
Diversion programs for low-level, juvenile offenders to recognize the harm they caused, the impact of their choices, and opportunities to repair the harm, without entering the justice system.
Baby Steps - Young Parent Support
Baby Steps Program is a two-tiered system of support for parents age 21 and younger, living in New Hanover and Pender counties.
Freedom School
This six-week summer literacy and cultural enrichment program is a research-based, multicultural Integrated Reading Curriculum that supports students and their families.
