Communities In Schools of Chicago (CISC) connects Chicago Public School students with programs and services they need that their schools often cannot provide. From health promotion and arts enrichment, to mental health and violence prevention, the services that CISC links to students are provided at no cost to schools. During the 2009-2010 school year, CISC connected more than 63,000 students to 1,300 services they otherwise would not have received. The CISC network includes more than 160 Chicago Public Schools and more than 150 service providers. Founded in 1988, CISC is a non-profit affiliate of Communities In Schools, Inc., the nation’s largest dropout prevention organization. More information can be found at www.chicagocis.org.
