About Us
County Community Services, Inc., formerly Golden Gate Services, was founded in 1991 as a community-based service in Broward County to alleviate the stressors associated with the language barrier and issues of illiteracy. Our Individualized Service Approach Modality aims to fill in the gaps that are completely ignored in a modern technological environment.
Our Social Philosophy
Our society is made up of diverse individuals: from the geniuses, the literate, the illiterate, the disabled. Barriers to learning and those with language barriers, etc. According to the Department of Education, "54% of the adult population in America have prose literacy below the 6th-grade level--functionally illiterates." We, at County Community Services Inc. (CCS), have determined that a unique, individualized approach is necessary to alleviate some of the stressors surrounding this unfilled gap in the new modern era of a "do-it-yourself attitude!"
