At Communities In Schools of Chesterfield, we surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our Site Coordinators work in 13 CCPS schools, alongside teachers and school staff, to remove barriers and help students reach their full potential.

Volunteers are vital to our mission, and we need your help! Below are opportunities broken into two categories: remote ways to support our students, and in-person/virtual volunteer roles. Continue reading to learn more about the ways you can help!

In-Person Volunteer Opportunities:

There are lots of ways to volunteer with CIS! At the moment, we do not have any remote/virtual volunteer roles. Please contact Wendy Lively ([email protected]) if you are interested in learning about remote opportunities.

  • Become a mentor to a CIS of Chesterfield Student! With the 2023-2024 school year back in session, we are accepting applications for in-person, one-on-one mentors. Chesterfield County Public Schools is requiring that volunteers be fully vaccinated prior to entering the schools. We ask that mentors commit to mentoring their mentee for a full school at least and make time at least once a week to meet with their matched student. To sign up to mentor, please complete the mentor form linked below.

  • Check out our Mentor Spotlights to learn more about the role of a mentor in the lives of students.


If you have any questions, please feel free to email our Program Director, Wendy Lively at [email protected] or call our office (804) 717-9305. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@cisofchesterfield), where we share additional ways to support and get involved!
