The Strategies Center has provided hands-on, real world consultation to help organizations and agencies reach their professional and service goals for more than two decades. We employ current information to create services that are research-based, people-centered, and customized to address our clients’ needs.

We understand social scientific theory, current research and evidence-based practices, but we’re not just academics. We integrate theory, experience, and practical application in all facets of our work.

We are passionate about what we do. We ensure that our clients receive the best services possible, that their funds and resources are used responsibly and effectively, and that every aspect of our services is delivered at a high level of quality.

Having worked in all 58 California counties and in multiple states across the nation, we have put theory into practice in diverse cultural and geographic settings. Every service element we provide is attuned to the cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic context in which our clients work.
