Communities In Schools of Northeastern Nevada- Humboldt County

Communities In Schools of Northeastern Nevada- Humboldt County Empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life! www.cisnevada.org

The story of Communities In Schools began in the 1970s, when Founder Bill Milliken, then a youth advocate in New York City, came up with the idea of bringing community resources inside a public school building – where they are accessible, coordinated and accountable. In the span of a little more than 30 years, Communities In Schools has become the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization.

We have a unique model that positions a coordinator inside schools to assess needs and deliver necessary resources that remove barriers to success. Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our network is comprised of nearly 5,000 passionate professionals in 25 states and the District of Columbia. We serve the most vulnerable students in the most dropout-prone school districts, nearly 1.3 million young people in more than 3,400 schools. We are actively engaged with policy makers, school staff, parents and business partners to ensure that Communities In Schools’ services are extended to as many K-12 students as possible and that those students have access to college. Independent research demonstrates that Communities In Schools is one of a very few organizations proven to keep students in school and the only one to document that it increases graduation rates. The study also shows that a higher percentage of students served by Communities In Schools reach proficiency in 4th-grade and 8th-grade reading and math.

As we start another school year, we are beyond grateful to announce that The Frank Offenhauser Foundation has generously established a $10,000 Emergency Fund to support students and families across our 5 partner schools and 5 General Youth Sites throughout Humboldt County!

This incredible gift means that during the 2026–2027 school year, we'll be able to meet real, urgent needs for our CIS students and families, including:

- Clothing and hygiene products
- Restocking school supplies in our Resource Rooms
- Emergency support like propane and gas cards to help keep families safe and warm
- Access to dental and eye care so students can show up ready to learn

Thanks to the Offenhauser Foundation's incredible generosity, we'll be able to meet students' needs both inside and outside the classroom, because we know that when basic needs are met, kids can focus on what matters most: learning and growing.

Thank you for believing in CIS and Humboldt County's students and families.

Our amazing Program Managers, Alex and Marcel, had the brilliant idea to jump into the first-day-of-school photo frame trend. Let's give it up for our CIS Site Coordinators who are striking a pose on the first day! 😂📷

We are SO excited for the 2026-2027 school year to kick off this Monday! Our CIS Humboldt team has been working their behind-the-scenes magic by prepping resource rooms, stocking supplies, and learning from each other and our alumni for an incredible 2-week Back to School Summit.

Each year, we pick a theme for our summit. Can you guess what it was?! Hint: peek photo 2 for the reveal! Here's to a magical year ahead. See you Monday!

Let's give a huge community shoutout to our Program Director, Alex Paredes, who was just recognized for 5 years of being All In For Kids here at CIS!

Alex has poured her heart into making sure every student in our community has the support they need. Her dedication, compassion, and willingness to jump in and support have made a real difference in the lives of the more than 3,000 kids and families we serve. We couldn't be more grateful.

Thank you, Alex, for everything you do.

Thank you to our fantastic partners at CareSource of Nevada for showing up as a sponsor and helping volunteer for our 3rd annual Fill the Bus!

🎒✨ CareSource Nevada was proud to sponsor and participate in the Winnemucca Communities In Schools of Nevada Fill the Bus event! Together, we're helping equip local students with the essential resources they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.

Providing students with supplies, support and encouragement lays the groundwork for successful, healthy futures - because every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. When we invest in education and well-being today, we build stronger communities tomorrow. 💜
