Communities In Schools of Brunswick County, Inc. provides the Adopt A School and Volunteer Program to Brunswick County Schools to enhance the quality of education by bringing the community and its resources to the children. Through business, church, agency and civic group partnerships brokered for each individual school, CIS helps the schools in their effort to provide a better education for the children of Brunswick County. Individual volunteers are recruited and trained to work one-on-one with children and to help the schools in other areas of identified need. The community benefits by receiving a chance to become involved in the education of its children, a better prepared workforce, increased civic cooperation, and responsible, nurtured individuals who will continue to grow to become leaders and productive citizens.

Adopt A School Partnerships
CIS functions as a bridge that enlists, negotiates, and facilitates the delivery of services from communities into our schools where they are more readily accessible to students and their families.
