Consulting Services

As a one-stop resource centre for the voluntary sector, one of our core services is aligning organizations with appropriate consulting services. Whether you need a strategic planning session, facilitation for an important meeting, a team building activity, customized training, or one of a myriad of other consulting activities, our aim is to provide the right consultant for the job.


How it works
One of Niagara’s voluntary sector organizations comes to us with a request; we send an expression of interest via email to our consortium of consultants who in turn reply with their proposals. The organization making the request will receive all the proposals, including details and costs, then review them and make their choice. CCL will notify both the successful and unsuccessful candidates, and provide contact information for the organization. From that point on the consultant deals directly with the organization. Our pool of consultants have a wide range of knowledge and expertise; collectively they can provide virtually any service you may need. The best part is there is no cost to you for this brokerage service. Contact us to see how we can help you find the right consultant for your organization.
