National Mentoring Month 2026 - IG

We are so grateful for all of the dedicated site coordinators, mentors, and volunteers who form part of the CIS family and make a powerful difference in the lives of young people by consistently showing up for them. The value of a caring adult in a student’s life and connections to resources are essential to ensure student success.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s vision calls us to imagine a world where every child is supported in body, mind, and spirit.

At Communities In Schools (CIS), we honor his vision by being present—surrounding students with caring relationships and critical supports so they can thrive in school and beyond.

Today, we reflect on Dr. King’s enduring legacy and recommit to showing up for the students and families who need us most.

Post 1: The Longest Roll Call PSA

Communities In Schools (CIS) launched the Being Present Matters campaign to call roll on the 13.9 million students who were absent from school last year. Their reasons why are very real—such as lack of access to basic needs, transportation issues, childcare needs for siblings, housing insecurity, and more.

CIS is present inside schools every day to provide support and connect students to the resources they need to show up prepared and ready to learn. With this support, 99% of our students stay in school.

Post 2: Site Coordinator Solution

💡 Did you know that 1 in 4 U.S. students were chronically absent last year? That means they missed 10 percent or more of the school year—that's almost a full month of classes! And the impact is serious: students who miss too much school fall behind and are less likely to graduate.

Communities In Schools (CIS) offers a unique solution to combat chronic absenteeism. We place a trained, caring adult, known as a site coordinator, inside the school building who works daily to provide support and connection to the resources students need to show up to school prepared and ready to learn.

Was there a caring adult who helped you get through school? Show your appreciation by thanking them in the comments 💙
