Surrounding Virginia's students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.  Our affiliates forge partnerships with schools to serve as a hub of support for students and families, connecting them with the resources they need to learn and grow.  By surrounding students with a network of support, we are helping kids overcome barriers and ignite their own personal potential.

The CIS-VA purpose is to strengthen the network through technical assistance and resource support; expand the network to reach more kids faster; and ensure fidelity to the evidence-based model of wraparound supports through quality training and data analysis. Our vision is to reach all high-need schools in Virginia, and grow our capacity to have a deeper reach in the largest schools, contributing to a strong pipeline to the workforce and vibrant communities.
