Together, we can help more students be present in school, stay engaged, and thrive.

Thanks to you, we connect over 25,000 students across the state with Site Coordinators who deliver the evidenced-based CIS program inside the school building five days a week, eight hours a day throughout the school year. Our team provides robust direct services like one-on-one counseling to students and wraparound supports for their families. Make a gift today to support our mission.

Other easy ways to support us include turning your Amazon purchases into a force for good. Amazon Smile donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchase to CISSC at no additional cost to you.
