What We Do
"To surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life."
CIS believes every child needs and deserves the five basics:
1. A personal, one-on-one relationship with a caring adult.
2. A safe place to learn and grow.
3. A healthy start and a healthy future.
4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation.
5. A chance to give back to peers and the community.
