Community Problem Solving (CmPS) teams identify a local or global problem, and work with community leaders and residents to research the problem and implement solutions. As an example, Leominster students have worked with town officials to explore the feasibility of a sludge composting plant, which would save the cost of trucking sludge to Fitchburg. Funds saved could pay for methane gas recovery from the closed landfill and other civic projects.

Any coach who has participated in the FPS program or who has completed a FPS training session may coach a CmPS team. Up to 10 (ten) students may be members of a CmPS team.
