Communities In Schools of
Chicago (CISC) forges
innovative partnerships
between Chicago public schools
and community-based service
organizations. These partner
hospitals, non-profits,
universities, individuals and
charitable foundations provide
a range of essential services
that address the social,
emotional and health needs of
students at more than 150
Chicago public schools.

One powerful example of how
CISC's agency partnerships
impact students is its
long-term relationship with
the Luxottica corporation and
its Gift of Sight charitable
foundation. For more than 10
years, CISC and Luxottica have
collaborated to provide 40,000
Chicago public students with
critical eye exams and glasses
through a series of innovative
vision clinics. Students
participating in these clinics
obtain more than just a pair
of new glasses; they leave
with a newfound sense of hope
and confidence that can help
them succeed in the classroom.
Through powerful partnerships
like this, Communities In
Schools of Chicago is
transforming the lives of
students across Chicago.
