Communities In Schools (CIS) is the largest dropout prevention organization in the United States. For more than 30 years, CIS has remained focused on helping kids stay in school and prepare for life by identifying and addressing the unmet needs of children and families – needs that, when left unanswered, contribute to the dropout rate.
According to USOBA Director of Member Relations Krysten Howerton, this year’s conference will be the biggest one to date. “With over 150 attendees expected, we’re sure the drive will be a success,” Howerton said.
The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago. Donation boxes will be placed around the registration area for conference attendees to drop off their toiletries.

About CIS
Most communities have resources available to help students succeed in school and prepare for life - but they may be in the wrong place. Children and families must first locate and then travel to agencies scattered all over town, usually during school hours and with no way to coordinate the various services.
CIS reverses this process, bringing resources and relationships to where children already spend their days - the public school. These resources are delivered in a caring, coordinated manner. The result is students succeeding in school.
