For three decades, CISPA has
been #AllinforKids, empowering students to overcome barriers and achieve their
full potential. At the heart of our mission are stories of remarkable students
like Liryk, whose journey exemplifies the transformative power of community and
perseverance.
Liryk's story began like many others, filled with potential yet
facing unique challenges. When he first stepped into the halls of Central
Dauphin East Middle School, he was grappling with behaviors that hindered his
academic progress and connection with peers. However, through a gradual process
of building rapport and trust with his CISPA site coordinator, Liryk embarked
on a transformative journey that would change his life and sense of community.
Through individual case management services tailored to his
needs, Liryk discovered the importance of his education and the power of
meaningful connections. One of the most inspiring aspects of Liryk's story is
his ability to build deep connections with school staff. Despite initial
hesitations, Liryk opened his heart and mind, forming meaningful bonds with
teachers, counselors, and support staff. His willingness to trust and
communicate openly enriched his own experience and fostered a sense of belonging
and community at school.
His journey demonstrates the profound impact of our collective
efforts in nurturing student success and is a testament to the CISPA
community's resilience, determination, and transformative power.
As we celebrate 30 years of service, we extend our heartfelt
gratitude to the communities that make our work possible. Your support has
enabled us to surround students like Liryk with a community of care, empowering
them to stay in school and achieve success in life.
We invite you to invest in stronger students, families, and
communities by attending our 30th Anniversary event. Together, we continue
building a brighter future for students in Central Pennsylvania.
