“I heard about CCP through an instructor in graduate school. She said it would be a good
way for me to serve non-profits in the community while learning about team dynamics and organization development. At our orientation, I met my team and we were given a client to
work with. What followed was one of the most rewarding learning experiences I’ve ever had.
We helped a small non-profit start planning for their future, I gained valuable relationships
and experience, and I learned a lot about myself and the strengths I bring to a team.”
