Communities In Schools (CIS) was founded as Cities in Schools in 1977 and is headquartered in Alexandria, VA. Today, CIS is the nation’s leading community-based network helping kids stay in school and prepare for life. Communities In Schools celebrate nearly three decades of building communities of help, hope, and care for two million students every year, at almost 3,000 school sites in 28 states. For two years in a row, Worth magazine named Communities In Schools one of the 100 top nonprofits in America.
CIS of Aurora is part of that network that includes over 260 cities and communities. Aurora’s Communities In Schools started in 1991 and was incorporated in 1994.
CIS of Aurora strives to create an environment in which all children can learn and succeed both academically and emotionally. CIS has been a driving force in bringing organizations together for the benefit of Aurora’s youth and families. CIS creates collaborative projects with community partners that lay the foundation for a strong and prosperous community by helping children do better in school. CIS engages community social and health services providers to work as a team alongside teachers, principals, volunteers and mentors to provide the resources that children need, in school where the children are.
Our youth may need the kind of help and intervention that teachers aren't usually equipped to provide: health care, drug use prevention, counseling for emotional problems, family services, gang awareness and prevention.
Aurora is the second largest city in Illinois with nearly 175,000 residents, located along the Fox River approximately 40 miles west of Chicago in Kane County. Aurora provides education to over 22,000 public school students in four school districts and five different cities and villages.
