Welcome to the Center for Collaborative Solutions!

At CCS, building collaboration is more than just a process; it’s an approach that extends into the heart of working relationships, values and the work itself.  We are passionately committed to helping clients create high quality, collaborative partnerships, teams, programs and workplaces.  Our work is built around two complimentary divisions within the organization: Workplace Services and Afterschool Services.

CCS’ Workplace Services Division centers on providing training, facilitation and consulting services to both public and private sector clients in unionized and non-unionized workplace settings.  Focused on providing an approach and process that can drive fundamental change, our philosophy and curricula derive from a principled, interest-based process that enables collaboration, and helps organizations and groups to discover and harnesses the power of their interdependence.  

Our Afterschool Services Division focuses on building high quality, sustainable afterschool programs and partnerships.  Our approach is based on a bold vision, a strategic orientation and a solid foundation of knowledge, research and practical experience.  We provide training, mentorship and coaching in all aspects of program development, as well as design and implementation support for local, regional and statewide afterschool initiatives.
