CIS of Laurel Highlands (CISLH) was organized as a private non-profit corporation in 1999. CISLH identifies educationally at risk youth, provides them with school-based supportive services to successfully learn, stay in school, and prepare for life.
CISLH services presently include "on-site" academic and behavioral assistance through mentoring, tutoring and homework assistance clubs, self-esteem and behavioral modification workshops, intergenerational and summer programs, and after-school educational programs.
Teachers, principals, parents, friends, or self-referrals refer youth to CIS. CIS students include those with low academic attainment, school attendance problems, attitude and behavioral problems, and unresolved social/emotional problems. CIS includes a "whole family' approach. With that in mind the organization also provides services for children with special needs, such as ADHD, fetal alcohol syndrome, Downs Syndrome, and a variety of other congenital problems.
