"I was deeply impressed with both the depth and breadth of skills Community Solutions has in place for disenfranchised youth. In my opinion, Community Solutions is one of the nation's leaders in innovative and youth-driven practice. I do not say this lightly. I am familiar, by observation and by practice, with hundreds of youth-focused agencies across the nation and often with troubled jurisdictions...In my judgement, Larry Grossman and his colleagues are a gem in services to vulnerable youth."

"Students reengaged in classroom activities while with Community Solutions and improved their academic performance based upon TABE scores....The final component Community Solutions offered was their ability to motivate parents of these students to support their child's education. Their educational mentors met with the family and helped them structure their home environment to be more conducive to educational performance."

"Over the years, CS staff have been a positive influence on families. Many students have changed their attitudes about school, improved their attendance, grades, and behavior after successfully completing the program. Community Solutions never turns a family away. I have witnessed students graduate from school or receive their GED who were not interested in school at all. This was a result of Community Solutions and their staff being dedicated to seeing these students succeed."

I have been thoroughly impressed buy the quality of instruction and the interaction the facilitator has with the parents in the Active Parenting of Teens group. In my experience, quite a few parents are apprehensive about attending, but by the third week, the parents are engaged. By the time graduation arrives, the parents want to continue attending the group. The facilitator's professionalism and obvious concern for our parents is evident in their classroom approaches. I would recommend this company and the service to any family or community needing additional resources. CS provides a variety of services to stabilize and insure the success of your and families which enhances the community at large."

Upon successful completion of programs, the agency rewards their client by hosting a graduation ceremony in their honor. CS is committed to making a difference in the lives of our youth. Whenever their assistance is needed, they are always willing to help in any way possible. I look forward to working more closely with this agency in the future."
