Interwoven are the dramatic life stories of CIS founder <B>Bill Milliken </B>and his colleagues, a journey that began in the turbulent 1960s as youth workers with a spiritual mission struggled to turn around the lives of dropouts and addicts. It traces the evolution of the CIS movement from a handful of groundbreaking “street academies” to a national network of hundreds of local affiliates. <I>The Last Dropout</I> also features stories about how CIS leaders have adopted these principles in their own communities, with stunning results!  </P></DIV>
