Your donation surrounds students with the supports they need to succeed
Through school-based partnerships, we connect students and families to the resources that strengthen learning, well-being, and long-term success.
Communities in Schools of Pennsylvania (CISPA) works alongside public schools to ensure students and families have access to the supports they need to stay engaged and on track. By embedding support directly in schools, we help students navigate challenges, build resilience, and reach their full potential.
