Communities In Schools of Tennessee (CISTN) is a nonprofit that partners with K-12 public schools to surround students with a community of support empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

As part of the CIS national network, CISTN achieves this mission by placing site coordinators in schools across the state to provide school-wide interventions and case managed services for students in need.

To best support the students, families, schools, community partners, and our staff members involved in this work, CISTN staff and board members center all decisions, actions, and services on the following core values:

1. Integrity – We openly share how our work is done, and we hold ourselves accountable to the commitments we make.
2. Empathy – We intentionally build relationships so we can learn about people’s stories, validate their experiences, and deepen our understanding of situations different from our own.
3. Equity – We identify and work towards removing individual and systemic barriers so everyone has the same opportunity to achieve.
4. Authenticity – We create space for the people we work with, and for, to be their truthful, complete selves without judgement.
5. Collaboration – We bring people together to plan and take action in our work, understanding we make lasting change in partnership with one another.
