Feb. 1, 2010 Friends of CIS-SA Opportunities >> "San Antonio - A Dropout Factory?" - Not on our watch!!! In April, 2009, it was decided that we could alter that unacceptable prediction by joining forces as Friends of Communities In Schools of San Antonio! (CIS-SA) The Friends' mission is to contribute to the health and well-being of the youth of San Antonio by supporting CIS-SA's efforts to help at-risk young people successfully learn, stay in school and prepare for life. We are not a fund-raising organization; our goals are to increase awareness of Communities In Schools of San Antonio and to engage volunteers who wish to contribute their time and talents. If you aren't a member, please join Friends of Communities In Schools of San Antonio! An annual membership is $25.00 per family and is tax deductible. You will be invited to Friends events and have opportunities to learn about the important work that Communities In Schools of San Antonio does to keep at-risk youth in school so that they will become productive members of our city.
