We urgently need funding to support our work. Thank you!
SPRING 2009
Washington High School
CIS was found in 2009 in George Washington High School; by a few high school students who tried to help out the community through volunteering.
FALL 2015
Balboa High School
6 years after we established, CIS had a bigger team compared to when we started. We decided to move a step forward and built a CIS team in Balboa High School.
SUMMER 2019
Official Non-Profit Orignazaion
After serving the community for 10 years, we finally registered to be an official nonprofit organization with supports from our team members and community partners.
SPRING 2021
Lowell High School
Six years after Balboa High School CIS was established, CIS became a large non-profit organization. We decided to move one step further and expand to Lowell High School.
FUTURE
We are waiting for you! We hope to expand CIS to more high schools in San Francisco. Please contact us if you are interested.
Members and cultures
As a multicultural club, we have members from different ethnic groups, with immigrant members as a majority. We have around 100 members between 15 to 20 years old, including high school and college students.
What we have done so far
We have volunteer experience at a variety of events such as Naturalization Workshop, Chinese New Year Street Fair, Chinatown Community Resources Fair, etc. In addition, We also have self-organized programs such as holiday-themed parties which are designed to serve the elderly living in senior homes. We, as youth, deeply feel that it is part of our duty to help people out in our community and assist each other.
