After graduation, Priscilla brought her father to meet with our staff and her father thanked us for watching over his daughter.

Martin (on the right), has been in the CISDR program for 3 years. He was recommended to our program because of gang activity. CISDR staff developed a strong relationship with the student through one-on-one sessions, anger management and Life Skill classes. By Martin’s senior year, we were discussing and focusing on which college to attend. CISDR took him and several other students on a field trip to El Centro College, where he is now attending.
