  • Wilderness Camping Trips
    P R O J E C T S U C C E S S 2019-2020 Impact Report Contents Introduction 2 Phases of Services 3 Wilderness Camping 7 Our Impact 10 Research Partnership 11 The Results of Our Work 12 Demographics 14 From Our Alumni - Testimonials 15 Thank You 16 Donor Partners 17 Our Beginning Every year 1.2 million students drop out of high school. In other words, every twenty-six seconds a student in America loses his or her path to a better future (Miller, 2015). By empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life, we are building a stronger America, where every person is capable of reaching his or her greatest potential. During the 2005 - 2006 school year CIS developed an initiative to bridge the high school to post- secondary education gap for CIS graduates called Project Success. For fourteen years, Project Success has served students who would otherwise have very limited knowledge of the college environment and the admissions process. Project Success strives to understand the first- generation college student, their barriers to success, the uncertainty they face and what is working in the field that propels them into marketable careers. Our Approach Through a dual approach Project Success is able to provide on-going, comprehensive campus-based one-on-one and group counseling services, which include high school, college and career counseling and an intensive summer bridge program – Life Bootcamp - for recent CIS graduates. CIS alumni programming begins at that point and includes mentoring, year round engagement, and wilderness experiences in state and national parks.
