Serve Connecticut

The Connecticut Commission on Community Service (CCCS) is dedicated to incorporating volunteerism into positive personal experiences to strengthen communities. The CCCS was established by Executive Order in 1993, pursuant to the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993, to administer service programs in the state and to promote citizenship and service throughout the state. People of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through national service in Connecticut. The mission of the Connecticut Commission on Community Service is to cultivate and foster a vibrant culture of community service through volunteerism. In partnership with the Office of Higher Education, the Commission funds and supports programs that encourage all Connecticut residents to volunteer.
