PA Community Service Centre
Maya Angelou once said, “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” And the Prince Albert Community Service Centre is here to help.Since 1968, the CSC has provided a wide range of social services for the residents of Prince Albert and district. To achieve its organizational mandate, the agency works with community partners and volunteers offering programs and projects funded by the City of Prince Albert and the province of Saskatchewan.
Put more directly, The CSC provides services that enhance the quality of life to meet individual and community needs. They aim to increase the self confidence and job search skills people need to find and keep long term employment and building the career of their choice at the same time. All people have the freedom and opportunity to participate in all aspects of the community to maximize their own potential.
And the CSC treats everyone with respect, care, and compassion.
