CIS, as a national organization, has been named for the past two years by Worth Magazine as one of the "100 Charities Most Likely to Save the World" and most deserving of your support! For each $100 donated to all local CIS programs, $89 goes directly to providing needed programming in our schools.

CIS is proud to be a part of the Northeast Florida Prevention Initative. Through a partnership with Gateway Services of Jacksonville, we are striving to bring drug prevention efforts to St. Johns County. Using our Inter Agency Council and our Schools of Promise as a way to reach a broad spectrum of children, service providers and stakeholders, we are working towards the goal of making St. Johns County a safer and healthier environment for our youth and their families. More to come on these coalition building efforts in the near future.

Over 4500 students and families will take part in a CIS sponsored event this year. Using our Schools of Promise resource meetings as a clearinghouse for ideas, services, and information, CIS was able to provide:
