The mission of Communities In Schools of Auburn is to provide resources to enhance, insure and promote the education of students in the Auburn School District. Originally called the Auburn School Lunch Fund, CISA was established in 1985 by caring community members to help students in need. We purchase clothing for homeless students. We buy alarm clocks for elementary children getting themselves to school. We help high school students obtain interview clothing from consignment shops. We purchase lice medication; provide scholarships for art enrichment, Camp Auburn and so much more.

In 2001 the Fund became part of the Communities In Schools Network, believing there was more that could be done for Auburn students as part of a nationwide network embracing the connection of community resources with schools. CIS Auburn now offers exciting tutoring and goal setting programs as well.
