Volunteering

Thousands of children and families were displaced by hurricanes. If you have time or talent to share with children as they return to their schools or get settled into schools in their new communities, we can use your help - now more than ever.

  • Volunteer Your Time for Kids
    Work with a child as a tutor or mentor. See a complete list of CIS offices across the country and learn how you can share your experience, energy, and enthusiasm to help young people succeed in school - especially those who may be starting from square one in a new community. It may make the critical difference in a young person's life.

  • Make a Connection with Your Local School
    Do you represent a community organization, agency, business or health care provider? Would the children in your local schools benefit from being connected to your colleagues and coworkers? Contact a CIS office near you to find out how you can bring your resources right into local schools to work for kids.
