Cumberland Community Schools Society

CCSS operates on the belief that learning is a life-long process and that schools should exist not in isolation, but as part of the local community. We take one of the largest and most under-utilized public facilities - the School buildings - and keep them open on afternoons, evenings and weekends for community activities. Operating out of Cumberland Community School, CCSS works to address the needs of all age groups, by providing programs for parents & babies, after-school programs, a healthy lunch program, adult education as well as youth programs and services. Over the past year, CCSS has experienced an amazing year of growth and accomplishments! We currently serve over 900 meals/month at Cumberland Community School, and 15% of these are provided at no cost to families in need. This Spring we are offering 21 different after-school programs to students in grades K-9, with over 200 students participating in these programs. We also offer community programs for all ages including soccer for preschoolers, first aid, food safe, boot camp, Mamacentric and more! And to top it all off- we opened a drop in Youth Centre and are fundraising for a skatepark.
