Testimonials

As the son of a public school educator, the value of education opportunities for all children was always of great importance. My professional connections with CIS Wake co-founders, Glenn Williams and Alex Holmes, introduced me to CIS, but the mission and the people hooked me.

The more knowledge we have, the better. Please volunteer with Communities In Schools because any lessons you can teach would be welcomed. Give all you can, even if it’s just a little.
