CISNT is a 501(c)3 non profit organization committed to helping students who are at-risk of dropping out of school succeed in school and prepare for life. 

 Bill Milliken, Communities In Schools founder and vice chairman, has been selected as a recipient of the 2009 National Jefferson Award for Public Service from the American Institute for Public Service. Milliken was honored in the category of Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged for his nearly 50 years of work helping young people graduate and prepare for life. “This is humbling … God is good,” said Milliken. “Each of us in our own way had a part in making this happen. In accepting this honor, I acknowledge first and foremost the entire CIS family and what we have collectively accomplished.”
