We want YOU!

AmeriCorps and Volunteers - we need them all and we want you!  We have AmeriCorps positions available in Kansas City, Ottawa, and Rice County, and position descriptions and applications are available on AmeriCorps.gov.  We're very excited that our AmeriCorps VISTA Megan Bradshaw will continue a second year with us as an AmeriCorps! 

Thinking about volunteering?  Maybe you'd like to help out at a back to school fair, man a booth at Reality U, host a fundraiser, or maybe it's time to become a mentor to a child.  The opportunities are endless, so contact your local Communities In Schools to find out how you can get involved.

Deluxe Corporation Presents CIS of Kansas with $5,000 Check

Deluxe Check Presentation

Communities In Schools of Kansas was presented a $5,000 donation check from Deluxe Corporation on Wednesday, August 4, at the Communities In Schools of Kansas office. The donation will support the general operation budget of CIS of Kansas.

"We are just thrilled about our new friendship with Deluxe," said Malissa Martin-Wilke, president of CIS of Kansas.  "Their understanding and support of our operational needs will go a long way to help us meet the needs of the children we serve."

The Deluxe Corporation Foundation is a grant-giving institution that has partnered with educational, cultural and human service nonprofit organizations for more than 55 years to enrich the communities of Deluxe employees and clients. Deluxe Corporation Foundation grants help nonprofit organizations attain their long-term goals through supporting operating costs and equipment and capital needs.
