Mission: As part of the nation's leading stay in school network, the mission of Communities In Schools of Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Inc. (CIS) is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

Sitting at the cross section of education and human services, the current scope of CIS services includes our Core school-based dropout prevention programming (PreK-12) as well as Specialized Interventions that target and address specific, chronically growing community issues such as college access and career readiness for underprivileged youth, support for teen mothers balancing the challenges of childcare and high school graduation, working with youthful offenders to continue their education, and serving unaccompanied immigrant students.

Communities in Schools of Charlotte Mecklenburg, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1986, and donations are tax-deductible.
