Communities In Schools of Nevada (CIS) is the fifth-largest state office of the nation\u2019s leading evidence-based dropout prevention organization that believes every child has potential \u2013 regardless of race, zip code or socioeconomic background \u2013 but may lack equal opportunity to succeed. CIS places caring, well-trained, full-time employees in high poverty schools to build trusting relationships with students and families, assess their needs and remove the barriers they face to learn and graduate. CIS taps into a network of more than 100 agencies and nonprofits to meet student needs \u2013 literally bringing the community into the schools it serves. CIS has innovated ways to collaborate with partners during the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure continuity of care, meeting students online, at home, or in the community to provide supports. Included in CIS\u2019 strategies and culture are principles and practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a result, CIS breaks down immediate and systemic barriers\u00a0<\/u>to create and sustain equitable outcomes. CIS operates in over 81 rural and urban schools throughout four school districts statewide. In total, CIS serves more than 80,000 students, including 12 schools in Western Nevada; 12 schools in Northeastern Nevada and 57 schools in Southern Nevada. Nationally, Communities In Schools provides services in more than 2,300 schools in 26 states and the District of Columbia, serving 1.56 million young people and their families every year.\u00a0 For more information, visit\u00a0http:\/\/www.cisnevada.org<\/a>\u00a0and follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Communities In Schools of Nevada (CIS) is the fifth-largest state office of the nation\u2019s leading evidence-based dropout prevention<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3209,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[35],"yoast_head":"\n
