We are pleased to introduce you to the new Communities In Schools logo, one that unifies our work as a leader in dropout prevention.
We are fortunate to be part of an organization with a strong staff at the national office, our state office and our 39 local affiliates operating in 58 North Carolina counties. This new logo advances a message that is consistent with our message: it takes the collaborative efforts of the entire community to empower our youth to stay in school and achieve in life.
We thank you for your continued support of CISNC and our work as the leading dropout prevention organization in North Carolina.
Thank you for reading.
Communities In Schools (CIS) of Carteret County, welcomes
you to our Web Site. We hope that as you navigate through
the information links, you will be encouraged to join
us and become more involved in the education and well
being of children in Carteret County.
Each
year in North Carolina close to 20,000 children drop out
of school only to discover that it is ever more difficult
to find productive work without better training. Every
high school drop out that cannot find productive work
costs society an estimated $6,600 per year and affects
everyone's quality of life. The costs to the community
mount quickly and the cycle of struggle for children continues.
CIS
offers a positive impact in communities to reduce the number
of children dropping out of school, which encourages a positive
economic outcome within our communities.
We
know that caring communities want to help children succeed
in life - the issue is how to go about it. CIS operates
as a link between the community and the schools by addressing
the needs of children and families through a process that
mobilizes existing community resources and directs them
to the areas of greatest need.
CIS is committed to helping students achieve success in
school and continue their education in college or other
post-secondary training. As a result, our youth will be
better equipped to find meaningful employment, lead productive
lives, and become contributing members of our society.
