About Charity Cultural Services Center

Charity Cultural Services Center (CCSC) is a San Francisco–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit (tax-exempt since 1984) that provides workforce development, education, and social services with a focus on limited-English-proficient, low-income, and recent immigrant communities. Through vocational programs — including culinary arts training, construction/CityBuild partnerships, and the Families in Transition (FIT) youth program — CCSC offers job training, certification preparation, case management, mentoring, and job placement services to help participants secure living-wage employment. In the last 2–3 years CCSC has continued active program delivery and community partnerships: it hosted its 41st annual gala on September 20, 2024, and participated in community technology and digital‑literacy efforts (including a May 24, 2025 laptop distribution and learning sessions), while continuing City-contracted workforce initiatives.
