CIS supports student success and achieves impressive results! Our programs:
- Generate $2.36 in federal tax revenue for every $1 invested.
- Lift students’ graduation rates and two-year college enrollment.
- Increase young people’s economic mobility.
Recently, our CEO Jane Mentzinger and Field Supervisor Paul Fagen had the opportunity to share more about the impact of our programs with the Chicago Sun-Times. Now serving students in 250 Chicago public schools, CIS is “here for the long haul.”
