Jeremy R. Del Rio, Esq. was born to lead people in service. It’s in his blood. He inherited it from his parents and grandparents, whose tireless ministry efforts defined their lives and helped shape his own.
Jeremy defines his life mission as “empowering people to achieve their dreams and transform their culture and communities,” and has translated that calling into a career that is uniquely suited as a spiritual, cultural, and civic leader in a postmodern world. As the founder and CEO of Community Solutions Consulting Services (CS2), he advises churches and non-profits on youth and community development, social justice, and cultural engagement. Current and past clients have included national and local organizations such as: Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, World Vision, American Bible Society, Urban Youth Workers Institute, Student Venture, Bowery Mission, Latino Pastoral Action Center, Living Hope Community Church, Citivision Inc., Christ Tabernacle, New York City Leadership Center, and many more.
