CIS of Michigan brings a ton of value by serving as a bridge between schools and the broader community. We address the gaps that often exist in traditional educational settings and can offer students access to critical supports that go beyond academics—such as career preparation, college readiness, and health and wellness programs. These are the types of targeted, meaningful interventions that can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. By continuing to develop signature programs with clearly defined outcomes, CIS can uniquely position itself to amplify its impact and help students unlock their full potential.”
