We believe in the impact of an encouraging word.
We believe in the value of a positive role model.
We believe in the worth of a mentoring relationship.
Because we know they truly make a difference
in the life of a child.
At Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County, our main focus is empowering students to believe in both themselves and their future. We achieve this goal by providing every CIS-enrolled student with a mentor from the local community who will offer encouragement and friendship. We also connect students (those enrolled in CIS and those who are not) with community resources to creatively and effectively meet their needs.
During the 2008-2009 school year, we provided services to 391 CIS-enrolled students and community resource connections more than 13,000 other students.
