The Children’s Services Council (CSC) is committed to supporting and strengthening all organizations that provide services for children and families in Broward County, especially emerging and niche agencies. We work in partnership with the leadership of those agencies to support organizational effectiveness and sustainability.
In an effort to maximize social impact, the CSC coordinates the Agency Capacity Building Committee (ACB), which is co-chaired by Council members Mr. Jeffrey Wood, Ms. Alyssa Fonganholi, and Ms. Julia Musella. The ACB provides a forum for networking and sharing resources among all organizations serving children and families in Broward, with a focus on emerging and maturing organizational leaders. It also offers an array of fast-paced training opportunities to expand leadership’s organizational toolbox through seminars, boot camps, newsletters containing grant opportunities & other useful information, as well as technical assistance.
