Children First/Communities in Schools (CIS) is a local non-profit committed to advocating and empowering children and families living in poverty. This is achieved through education and direct services such as the Family Resource Center at Emma, our after-school Learning Centers, Latino Outreach, Project POWER/AmeriCorps, and Success Coordinators in Emma & Johnston Elementary School. In addition to direct services, Children First/CIS engages in public policy advocacy campaigns to build opportunity for children and families.
