Thank you for standing together for change.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined and supported our fundraiser. If you couldn’t make it, or want to keep the momentum going, you can still give today to power CCCS’s equity, education, and community health work.

Trainings and Programs

What We Do

At CCCS, we advance equity through two main areas of work: trainings that build racial literacy, cultural responsiveness, and organizational change, and programs that address health equity and social determinants of health in our communities. From our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion training series to initiatives like the Achieving Health Equity with Older Persons (AHEOP), the Oral Health Equity Collaborative (OHEC), and the Community Leadership Network (CLN), we partner with organizations and community members to drive systemic change and create inclusive, healthy environments for all.

01

We offer interactive Equity, Diversity & Inclusion trainings that build racial literacy, cultural responsiveness, and organizational change. Our five-part training series and customized workshops help individuals and organizations deepen understanding, practice inclusive leadership, and take action toward dismantling systemic inequities.

02

Our programs focus on advancing health equity and addressing the social determinants of health. Through initiatives like the Achieving Health Equity with Older Persons (AHEOP), the Oral Health Equity Collaborative (OHEC), and the Community Leadership Network (CLN), CCCS partners with community members and institutions to reduce disparities, strengthen connections, and create more inclusive systems.

WHY CCCS?

Because Community is at Our Core

CCCS matters because we equip communities and organizations with the tools, training, and trust needed to advance equity and eliminate barriers to opportunity.

01

We Advance Health Equity

CCCS tackles racial and systemic disparities by framing racism as a public health issue, expanding access to culturally responsive healthcare, and uplifting marginalized voices. Our training, advocacy, and events directly support inclusive care practices statewide.

02

We Build Bridges Across Cultures

CCCS fosters cross-cultural understanding by connecting immigrant, refugee, and BIPOC communities with vital services. Through partnerships, outreach, and trauma-informed support, we help individuals navigate systems while honoring their identities and lived experiences.

03

We Strengthen Organizations

CCCS partners with companies, schools, and institutions to create customized DEI training, cultural competency development, and strategic equity planning. Our proven approach helps organizations meet their inclusion goals while building trust with the communities they serve.
