KISRA is a nonprofit organization based in Dunbar, West Virginia, that operates in the field of individual and family services. It runs more than a dozen programs structured across four divisions—Education, Employment, Economic Empowerment, and Behavioral Health. Its Education initiatives focus on early childhood development, safe after-school environments, and preparation for academic success, with additional support aimed at teens pursuing higher education. Through Employment and Economic Empowerment programs, KISRA helps people secure jobs, build economic self-sufficiency, foster responsible fatherhood, and support reentry for ex-offenders, while promoting financial literacy, homeownership, saving, and small-business activity. Behavioral Health services address mental health needs and include education related to birth control and sexual health. In 2019, KISRA announced a new initiative called the Appalachian Food Enterprise.
