Program Focus
The CIS Model builds one-on-one relationships with students, wrapping them in supports at school so they attend school regularly, behave appropriately, and complete their coursework. CIS connects students and their families to the community resources they need to succeed and thrive.
Jobs for North Carolina’s Graduates (JNCG) provides high school students with durable skills essential to the workforce, offers leadership training, facilitates personal connections with employers and post-secondary education and training, and maintains the relationships with students for a year after graduation.
Reentry To Resilience (R2R) serves youth transitioning from Youth Development Centers back into their home communities. R2R assists them enroll in the educational environment right for them, connects them with employers, encourages physical and mental health supports, and works with parents and families.
