We Are PCS
We integrate with organizations and share capacity while they are in a period of growth or delivering new services and programs for their community. Our services are based on the assumption that communities collectively know what solution is the right fit in the face of safety and systemic issues. We endeavor to be a reliable resource for communities looking to develop their capacity through co-creation. We believe that the future of our world is one stewarded by empowered individuals who are supported to take ownership in their life and their community to live full and meaningful lives. Our social impact mission guides our practice:
“to sustainably empower communities in their safety and wellbeing through co-creation and social innovation; responding to changing community needs and requirements through internal continuing education…”
Our five core offerings best outline the scope of the work we do and the capacities we carry. However, we also like to highlight past and ongoing projects that have emerged through our work with different communities to provide a well rounded overview of how we can support your community.
