About CSSP
About Us
The Global War On Terror (GWOT) has had a tremendous impact on our military members and their families. Our Reserve Component military members are deploying more than ever in support of the ongoing GWOT. Throughout the deployment cycle, these citizen soldiers and their families need the support of their communities — in the same way that the military installation communities provide support to the Active Component.
To help build bridges between community resources and Reserve Component families, Congress established the National Demonstration Program for Citizen Soldier Support in 2005.
Hosted by the Odum Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the program is guided by staff with significant military and community development experience, strategic partners, a National Advisory Council of key military affiliates, and university faculty with experience in military family program design, research, and training.
CSSP's offices are located in Carr Mill Mall in Carrboro North Carolina, just a few miles from the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. CSSP staff work at this location as well as in cities across the country to facilitate the development and sustainment of effective military/community partnerships in support of our Reserve Component members and Families.
