About
Communities in Schools is the leading evidence-based dropout organization nationwide. CIS of Nevada provides students in the public K-12 school system throughout Nevada the support and services they need to address barriers to staying in school and achieving success. Working directly on site at elementary, middle and high schools, CIS site coordinators ensure the provision of resources including mental health counseling, basic needs provisions, family and community strengthening, life skills training mentoring and tutoring to at-risk students. Basic needs provisions include emergency food and weekend food backpacks, clothing, school supplies and other items needed by students to achieve success in school. The CIS program service model is built upon assessments of school-wide and individual student needs and strong partnerships with school, faculty and staff, coupled with national quality standards and data management. The model is evidence-based and is the only dropout prevention organization nationally proven to reduce the dropout rate along with improving the graduation rate.
