In schools to help

kids stay in school

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.

Communities In Schools of the Gulf South provides Integrated Student Supports (ISS) to children and families in need across Louisiana parishes. Over 85% of our annual budget goes directly to programs and services for public school students.


Your support can keep caring adults in schools to help students succeed.

One of the reasons that I come to school more often now is because I know my Site Coordinator will be looking for me. I know she really cares about me.

I love working with my CIS Site Coordinator because she helps me so much. Every time I feel like dropping out of school, a talk with her makes me look at things different. If I didn’t have her at my school, I promise I would have left.
