Communities In Schools of Pittsburgh-Allegheny County (CIS) is a private, non-profit dropout prevention organization that is an affiliate of the nation’s largest stay-in-school network. The CIS Mission is to help young people successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life. We achieve our mission through working in public schools, facilitating after-school programs, and through CIS-operated, state-approved non-traditional alternative educational academies.

CIS believes that every child needs and deserves:

1. A personal one-on-one relationship with a caring adult

2. A safe place to learn and grow

3. A Healthy start and a Healthy future

4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation

5. A chance to give back to peers and the community
