Our Impact
For the 2023–2024 school year, our evidence-based model reached thousands of students across Central Georgia. Through case management, academic support, and social services, we have helped them stay in school, succeed in the classroom, and prepare for bright futures.
Our Network
CIS of Central Georgia partners with local schools, families, and community organizations to create a powerful network of support. From academic tutoring to mental health services, we tailor every intervention to the unique needs of each student—ensuring they receive the help and encouragement needed to succeed in school and beyond.
Our Advocacy
We drive local policy changes and community investments that benefit every child. By advancing equity and igniting potential, we work tirelessly to ensure that financial constraints and social challenges never stand in the way of a student’s success.
Proven Effective
Our evidence-based approach connects students to mentors, caring adults, and community resources—forming a network of trust. With these supports in place, young people can overcome personal challenges and structural barriers, taking charge of the future they deserve.

Igniting Potential
Students who drop out of school are more likely to earn thousands less in salaries, live in poverty, suffer poor health, enter the criminal justice system, and rely on social services. The cost to our community and country is billions in lost revenue.
CIS helps make sure every student has what they need to realize their full potential in school and beyond. We walk by their side—in their communities—to navigate barriers that stand between them and their success in life.
Student Success Lasts a Lifetime
Our evidence-based model connects students to caring adults and community resources that transform how they see and experience the world around them. By surrounding them with a network of trust—no matter where they are in their journey—we empower students to confront and overcome personal challenges and structural barriers, so they can take charge of the future they want for themselves, their communities, and each other.
