Community Services League

💙 $50 = 1 backpack.

A new school year is just around the corner, and together, we can help local students start the year prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

Now through July 31, every $50 donation provides one fully stocked backpack for a local child through Community Services League's Back-to-School Fair.

For many families, the cost of school supplies can be overwhelming. Your generosity helps ease that burden and ensures students head back to the classroom with the tools they need to succeed.

It's a simple way to make a lasting impact on a child's school year.

Start your nursing career with support every step of the way!

Community Services League is excited to partner with Graceland University School of Nursing, West Central MAHEC, and MHCA to offer a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) Hybrid Course beginning Fall 2026. This program is a great opportunity for neighbors who are ready to take the next step toward a meaningful career in healthcare.

At CSL, we know that starting something new can come with challenges. That’s why our Workforce Development team helps neighbors connect to training opportunities, remove barriers, build confidence, and move toward long-term stability. This CNA program includes online coursework, hands-on training, clinical rotations, and preparation for the Missouri CNA Certification Exam.
