Our Mission

To champion the connection of needed community resources with schools to help young people learn, stay in school and prepare for life.

Our Purpose

Communities In Schools of Miami works with some of Miami's most challenged students. In order to assist these at risk students and their families, Communities In Schools mobilizes the community and brings existing resources into the schools – right where they are needed.

CIS of Miami links schools and community resources to help kids finish school and prepare for life. Services are offered free to the students. Programs are located in grade schools, high schools and at many community sites.

Many individuals are crucial to the success of Communities in Schools, including dedicated students, parents, volunteers, mentors, tutors, teachers, partners, benefactors, AmeriCorps members, staff members and the board of directors.

CIS of Miami programs are generously funded by The Children's Trust. The Children's Trust is a dedicated source of revenue established by voter referendum to improve the lives of children and families in Miami-Dade County by making strategic investments in their future.
