History

Social Solutions was founded in 2000 by Steve Butz,[4] a former human service professional with the Living Classrooms Foundation.[5] Butz and his co-founders, Adrian Bordone and Vince Griffith, were frustrated by their inability to accurately track progress when working with troubled youths, and decided that there must be a better way for human and social service organizations to affect participants, families, and communities.
