The Connecticut Commission on National and Community Service (CCNCS), headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, was established by an Executive Order of the Governor in 1993, pursuant to the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. The Commission’s purpose is to:

• encourage community service and volunteer participation as a means of community and state problem-solving

• promote and support voluntary citizen involvement in government and private programs throughout the State

• develop a long-term, comprehensive vision and plan for action for community service initiatives in Connecticut

• serve as the State's liaison to national and state organizations which support its mission

Administered by the Connecticut Department of Higher Education, CCNCS envisions a vibrant Connecticut with caring communities strengthened by community service and volunteerism. Within the areas of civic engagement, education, environment, human needs and public safety, the Commission commits to engage, expand and enhance community service experiences in Connecticut.
