CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeSummer Launchpad for HS and Career Success
CISLA’s Summer Program is an innovative combination of leadership development, social-emotional learning and resource connection, which engages graduating 8th-graders in underserved neighborhoods when they are more likely to experience adult pressures (caretaking for family, working) and even abuse or neglect. In a supportive environment, CISLA helps youth build social-emotional skills, peer support and knowledge of resources available to them, transforming the transition to 9th grade into a launchpad for success through high school and beyond.
