Communities In Schools of Chicago (CISC) is a unique organization that works exclusively to connect Chicago public school students and their families with existing social services to address critical unmet needs. Our goal is to ensure that all children have the opportunity to improve their chances for school and life success by meeting their social, emotional, and health needs. When these needs are met in a place where they feel safe and comfortable – right at their schools – attendance and test scores increase, higher numbers of students graduate, resulting in improved academic lives and brighter futures. Most importantly, we do all this at no cost to the schools.
