Volunteer With CIS Federal Way

Description of volunteer opportunities and volunteer sign-up form.

Communities In Schools of Federal Way has many ways you can volunteer your time and champion education for the kids in our community!

Be A Mentor!

Mentors meet with their students for one hour, one day a week during the regular school day.  Mentors provide students with the support and encouragement they need to stay in school and succeed.  Being a mentor is truly a fun, easy and rewarding way to give back to the community.   

Contact Mentor Program Coordinator, Jennifer Youngblood by phone at 253-528-0847 or by email at jennifery@federalwaychamber.com to find out how you can become a mentor.

School Outreach Program

The School Outreach Programs at Mirror Lake Elementary, Sacajawea Middle, and Federal Way High Schools utilize community volunteers to make a big difference.  Volunteers help tutor struggling students, lead after school clubs and assist with one-time events.  If you have a passion for seeing students succeed or have a special talent to share, we can find a way for you to make a difference.  

Join the Fun at Events!

CIS Annual Breakfast!

The CIS Annual Breakfast is held every year in late February.  This is our one and only fund raising event and we rely a great deal on the hard work of volunteers to make it happen.

One Child At A Time
“When working with Michael, we finally got into the subject of grades. I was able to get permission from his mom to access his grades through the school’s on-line system. Michael was embarrassed and I was really worried when I saw he was failing four of his five classes. We talked about how he really wanted to go to high school the following year and how that wasn’t going to happen if he didn’t pass his classes. Over the next few months we looked as his grades and homework on-line each time we met and talked about ways he could be successful. Slowly, his grades began to move upward and by the end of the year, he passed with all C’s! We were both very excited and Michael is now a freshman at Federal Way High School!”
