For over 15 years, the Center for Community Research (CCR), a San Diego based non-profit, has been dedicated to empowering individuals, community-based organizations, and government agencies to achieve their highest outcomes. CCR partners with communities to implement and identify strategies that work. We are committed to enhancing community safety through data-driven strategies and research-based solutions.

Our team of seasoned professionals maintains expertise in various sectors including alcohol and drug prevention, harm reduction, public health, mental health, youth development, education, public safety and community engagement. We also offer experience in media advocacy, youth speaker training, and social media engagement.

CCR has earned recognition for our effective community outreach programs and for our ability to track progress with our Community-Empowerment Model (CEM). Our staff are active members of the SAMHSA Prevention Technology Transfer Center (PTTC) for Region-9, contributing to prevention initiatives on a statewide and national level. Additionally, we are a part of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Community Liaison Board where we provide feedback for the ongoing research study.
