Communities In Schools of Wake County (CIS Wake)
CIS Wake connects community resources with students in order to provide special enrichment and academic opportunities for students. CIS Wake works to prevent school failure through mentoring and tutoring. The primary, but not exclusive, vehicle for delivering services to students is through providing a competent, trained volunteer tutor-mentor who will spend a minimum of one hour per week with the assigned student. Currently, 11 Wake County schools have CIS Wake programs. The participating schools are Hunter Elementary, Millbrook Elementary, Poe Elementary, Wilburn Elementary, Daniels Middle, East Millbrook Middle, East Wake Middle, Mt. Vernon Middle, Zebulon Middle, Garner High, and Millbrook High School. In addition, CIS Wake provides academic and enrichment programs at 5 Learning Centers located in public housing communities. The 5 centers are located in the Capital Park, Heritage Park, Kentwood, Mayview, and Walnut Terrace communities.
