Communities In Schools of Peninsula (CISP) is an affiliate of the Communities In Schools network, the largest organization dedicated to empowering kids to stay in school and on a path to a brighter future. At CISP, we fuel the power of each student's potential by connecting them to caring adults and community resources designed to help them succeed. From basic needs such as clothing and health screenings, to academic support, mentoring, and exposure to cultural and work-life experiences, we do whatever it takes to ensure all kids - regardless of the challenges they may face - have what they need to be successful in school and realize their greatest potential. Our commitment to the students we serve keeps us focused on results. With programs in thousands of schools across the country, we know that our approach works because it's backed by more than 40 years of experience and research.

Mission

The mission of CISP is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. We believe every child can achieve their greatest potential.

Needs

The last few years have vividly shown that not all students have equal access to the educational resources they need. Young people who either live in poverty, don't speak English, have disengaged parents, or face a myriad of other obstacles in their daily lives simply don't have the support they need to be successful in school. Factors like these are to blame for the widened achievement gap we see today. Isolation, inequitable services, homelessness, and the loss of hope are just a few of the many challenges kids face in our community.
