Communities In Schools 2021 Strategic Plan Refresh
In 2020, crises in public health, racial justice, and the economy created enormous turmoil and fundamentally changed the environment in which Communities in Schools® (CIS™) operates.
CIS saw this as a critical moment of opportunity and inflection and initiated a process to reassess and refine our existing strategic plan. This new refreshed plan carries forward key elements of the original strategic plan and introduces six new strategies and related initiatives that ensure we can best serve students and school systems in this moment of crisis.
Read Rey Saldaña's, Communities In Schools National President & CEO, recent "CIS Strategic Plan Refresh" blog post that discusses a dated plan that helps us take specific, constructive actions toward new and better ways.

A Statement from CIS National President and CEO Rey Saldaña
The horrific death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police and resulting wave of protests across the country reminds us of a painful truth about our nation’s past and indeed the current times we live in. At Communities In Schools® (CIS™), the majority of students we serve are children of color and children living in poverty. Our mission is to surround them with a community of support to empower them to succeed in school and in life, despite immediate and systemic barriers. Too often, these students are left behind by structures that were not designed for their success.
