Helping Every Child Learn, Grow and Thrive
Every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The Children’s Services Council of Broward County (CSC) invests in programs and services that support children and youth with special needs and their families. Through partnerships with community organizations across Broward County, CSC helps families access resources, build skills, strengthen independence and connect with the support they need.
Support for Children and Families
Navigating services for a child with special needs can feel overwhelming. CSC-funded programs help connect families with quality services designed to meet children where they are and support their development at every stage.
CSC investments help provide:
Early Intervention & Developmental Support
Programs that help identify developmental needs early and connect children and families with appropriate services and resources.
After-School & Summer Programs
Inclusive opportunities where children and youth can learn, build friendships, develop new skills and participate in enriching activities.
Family Support & Education
Resources, education and guidance that help parents and caregivers advocate for their children and navigate available services.
Social, Behavioral & Emotional Support
Services that help children strengthen communication, social-emotional skills, confidence and overall well-being.
Independent Living & Life Skills
Programs that help youth develop practical skills, independence and confidence as they prepare for adulthood.
