Ready, Set, Graduate!
At the end of each year, we bring students and their supporters together to celebrate success, recognize resiliency, and champion the CIS of Eastern PA mission. Our signature event celebrates the graduating seniors that we serve across Eastern Pennsylvania. Our seniors don their caps and gowns to celebrate together with site professionals and their families before moving on to their next chapter!
Due to our rapidly expanding footprint across Eastern PA, beginning with the graduating Class of 2025, we have split "Ready, Set, Graduate!" into TWO regional celebrations!
