Community School Collaborative

Community School Collaborative empowers Park County youth through innovative career exploration experiences to achieve a fulfilling and meaningful education, career and life.

The Community School Collaborative promises to provide Park County youth with career exploration and work-based learning experiences. We commit to operating with integrity, transparency, and accountability while fulfilling our mission and serving our community.

Livingston School District and the Community School Collaborative partner with one another to best utilize both entities' resources collectively, which allows CSC to host a full-fledged workforce development program for every SGMS student. Annual programming consists of 6 Cougar Career Days, 8 Pop Up Clubs, 12 job shadow placements, 75 community businesses and organizations sharing their knowledge, 272 SGMS students engaging with their local community and 2,712 volunteer hours spent mentoring youth in career exploration and workforce development.

All program funding is raised from individual donations, corporate support, and granting foundations. Thank you for your support -- we couldn't do it without you!!
