Programs and Services

At Community Care Development Network (CCDN), we believe in walking alongside individuals and families as they build stronger, more stable lives. Our work is rooted in compassion, connection, and community. Through a holistic approach, we provide comprehensive services that address immediate needs while creating pathways for long-term success.

Human Support Services
Our Human Support Services Program is the cornerstone of CCDN’s outreach—meeting the most urgent needs of families across Jefferson County. Each month, we serve between 2,600 and 3,000 families by providing:

Access to fresh, nutritious food
Clothing for all ages and seasons
Emergency financial assistance
Shelter and housing support
Connection to critical resources and referrals

Whether it's a single mother needing diapers and formula or a senior adult requiring utility assistance, we’re here to respond with care and compassion.

Family Support Services
Strong families build strong communities. Our Family Support Services Program empowers both youth and parents through mentorship, education, and support. We offer:

Precious Pearls of Promise: A mentorship and life development program for young ladies ages 11–18
Diamonds in the Rough: A mentorship and life skills program for young men ages 11–18
Parents Helping Parents: A peer-led support group that strengthens parenting skills and builds community
Private Family Sessions: Tailored sessions for families navigating conflict, trauma, or transitional life challenges

These programs help build confidence, communication, and connection within families—laying the foundation for generational growth and healing.

Education Support Services
Through our Inspire Education Academy, we offer a second chance at success for youth and young adults ages 16 and up who have faced life barriers, including court involvement and incomplete schooling. The Academy provides:

High school diploma attainment
Career pathway development
Hands-on trade and workforce readiness programs
Life skills coaching and transition support

We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to succeed—Inspire helps them take the first step.
