New Location

CIP Berkeley will commemorate its 10-year anniversary this Fall, and to accommodate our need for additional space for the 2017-2018 year, on September 1st we're moving to a new location in the heart of downtown Berkeley!

The new space will serve as a hub for student activity and is just steps from Berkeley City College, UC Berkeley, and two short blocks from student apartments. Our new space will overlook the downtown Berkeley BART station, which is currently under remodel. The architectural renderings are pictured here.

New Curriculum & Services

CIP is now utilizing PEERS based curriculum, an evidence-based social skills training program, and offering CIP's Family Services - coaching and educational trainings designed to support our families of enrolled students at no cost.
