CSS of Wayne has had another busy month. Grant writing, program planning, and FUNDRAISING have been the theme for the past month. Our “Have a Heart for Kids” is scheduled for Thursday, March 30 at The Firehouse in Goldsboro from 6 to 9 pm. We are looking forward to another great event. 

As we continue to serve our students and expand our programs, we are always looking  for new funding opportunities. Completing a strategic planning process through the Institute for Emerging Issues has also been very helpful as the CSS board and staff have worked together through this process. Collaborating with other non-profits and business in this community is part of what makes us a stronger, healthier organization. We will make an announcement soon about a new grant opportunity that we will receive!

Doing Something Different

Wayne County Restorative Justice

CSS of Wayne had the opportunity today to share our latest project with some of our community leaders and collaborative partners. (Some of them escaped before our picture.) On January 31st we "premiered" our Restorative Justice video, with interview segments from community partners- juvenile court counselors, Sheriff Larry Pierce, school resource officers, volunteers, and staff. It takes a community working together to impact our youth. So thankful for these leaders and the work that they do every day!
