Alumna Graduate Spotlight: Gabriella's Journey with CIS Houston 🌟 Gabriella's journey has been significantly shaped by the support of CIS. From volunteering in Alief where she met Nirsi with CIS, to starting college at Lone Star, CIS provided crucial support with textbooks, transportation, food, and financial aid guidance. CIS helped Gabriella with essay reviews, peer connections, and emotional support, empowering her to overcome obstacles. Now, she’s graduating with a business degree and has secured a full-time position at Lone Star College. Gabriella is grateful for the unwavering support of CIS, especially Ms. Nirsi Maravilla. Her dedication and belief in her potential helped make her success possible. #GraduateSpotlight #CISgraduates #StudentSuccess

Meet our amazing graduate, Veronica! Here’s what they had to say about their experience with CIS: “CIS is like a second home to me. It has provided fundamental support for the short time I received it. I just met Ms. Cortez (CIS) during my senior year at Spring Woods High School. Everything I know CIS does to aid students is great. From providing meal boxes and/or clothes to elementary school families, free prom dresses for seniors, to counseling and constant outreach about scholarships. The CIS program has proved to me that I can rely on it to get closer and achieve success and valuable memories.” We are so proud of our graduates and the impact CIS has had on their journey. Congratulations to all, and here’s to many more successes ahead! 🎓✨ #GraduateSpotlight #CISgraduates #StudentSuccess

Meet the CIS "Twins": Caleb and Caden! 🎓 We are thrilled to celebrate the graduation of Caleb and Caden, two remarkable young men who have been a part of the CIS family since elementary school. CIS has supported them every step of the way, providing mentoring and basic needs. You might recognize them as the superb speakers from our CIS gala! Caleb graduated at the top of his class with an associate degree and is heading to Colby College in Maine to study Theater and Cinema Studies. Caden will be attending the University of Houston Downtown, majoring in Sociology, with aspirations to become a school social worker and help students just as CIS has supported him. “CIS is much more than a helper; you are counselors, advisors, second family, and so much more. My brother and I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for CIS for being a confidant all these years and we hope to see it continue being the support it has been for dedicated mothers like our own.” We are so proud of Caleb and Caden and excited for their bright futures ahead! #GraduateSpotlight #CISgraduates #StudentSuccess
