History
Community Center Shanghai (CCS) was founded in 1998 to enhance family and community life for international residents of the rapidly developing Pudong District. In 2003, the Center expanded its scope to serve the larger Shanghai international community, opening a second center in Puxi in early 2006. Now serving more than 10,000 international families, Community Center Shanghai uniquely addresses the growing needs of the international community while building a bridge to the local communities and citizens.
