The Center for Collaborative Solutions provides leadership in afterschool policy and practice. Its publications and guides offer afterschool programs valuable tools in starting-up and improving the quality of their programs. Through its Healthy Behaviors Initiative, CCS has published a guide to Developing Exemplary Practices in Nutrition, Physical Activity and Food Security in Afterschool Programs and supports Healthy Behaviors Learning Centers across the state to help other afterschool programs. CCS consultants also provide training, coaching and mentoring.
