What We Offer

The Certified Youth Impact Specialist (CYIS) program was created to help youth workers, mentors, violence prevention staff, schools, and community-based professionals become more effective in how they engage and support young people facing high-risk conditions.

This training is built around real-world challenges and practical solutions.
