If you know CIS, you probably think of a person who has helped you or a student that you care about. At CIS, we're more than just programs - we are a team of caring adults, trained to do whatever it takes to keep kids coming to the classroom ready to learn.
We are the face of trusting relationships when families need food, clothing, and basic essentials. We are the face of consistency when students need someone to check-in with about stress at home. We are the face of encouragement when students need some extra help achieving their goals. We are the face of student supports across our community.
Whether you've known a face of CIS for years, or you're just finding CIS in your community today, we invite you to learn more about the people who make our organization so special.
