Volunteer

We have a variety of elementary, middle and high school campuses to choose from across the Dallas region. There are several opportunities to support students, including reading to a child, tutoring, test prep, goal setting, facilitating groups, one-on-one lunch buddies (activities), guest speakers and career days. We provide training and coaching to help you positively interact and support the growth of our youth.

Communities In Schools is in the process of redesigning our volunteer management system. If you have any questions, please contact us at connectcis@cisdallas.org
