Communities In Schools of Texas

is a nonprofit organization made up of 27 local Texas affiliates that support students at-risk of dropping out by surrounding them with a community of support to ensure they stay in school and achieve in life.

Americans live in a country where everyone is entitled to a free education, but not everyone has everything it takes to succeed in school. Across Texas, 58% of our k-12 students are living in poverty. That’s why CIS is here – to make a difference for those kid, and we’ve been doing it for over 40 years.

Making an Impact

Our network of affiliates place embedded support staff within our public schools and work together with the local community to surround our most vulnerable students and provide what they need to succeed in school.

By harnessing the available resources locally and across Texas, and then matching the services to each student’s needs, CIS is breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering students to create better lives, better communities, and a better world.

Your help enables us to do this work throughout Texas! Our cities have a high concentration of at-risk students, and in rural areas the needs are great and the financial resources are simply not there. CIS of Texas wants to see as many at-risk students as possible have the connection and resources they need to be successful.  YOU can help!
