Education & Outreach Services
CCS Prevention programs use education as a tool to break the cycle of violence and prevent violence before it happens. CCS believes that violence is preventable: violence is a learned behavior and therefore can be unlearned. Our prevention programs strive to empower participants with the skills and tools they need to prevent violence in their relationships and communities.
Prevention & Community Engagement Specialists are available to provide educational programs and workshops for professional audiences, youth groups, correctional facilities, schools K-12, colleges and universities, and the general public. Most programs are FREE, developmentally-appropriate, interactive, can be done in a series, and are available in both English and Spanish.
In an effort to ensure safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our trainings and workshops can be offered virtually upon request.
If you are a professional seeking training please see our Professional Training page.
To schedule one of our programs, workshops, or to inquire about a train-the-trainer, please email prevention@ccssd.org or fill out this form.
Center for Community Solutions is currently working on a youth led podcast about healthy relationships and non-violence that is by youth for youth! This project is grant funded by Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation and seeks to hear youth voices across San Diego County.
If you are a young person interested in participating or an adult who is connected to youth voices who would be interested please contact us at Prevention@ccssd.org
