who we are

At Communities In Schools of Los Angeles (CISLA), we empower students to overcome the personal circumstances and widespread systems that keep them from success. Through our site directors and coordinators, we’re always there for students and families— doing whatever it takes to remove the barriers between them and graduation. The way we see it, every individual student achievement adds up to the kind of change that supports schools, strengthens communities, and changes policy to shape the future of education.
