Community Partnerships
Community support is essential to building and sustaining high-quality community service programs. Working hand-in-hand with local leaders, community builders, and people in need, program members can initiate change on a larger scale and extend a program's reach. Effective partnerships with the community can result in a broad base of support for funding, expertise, in-kind donations, resource development, and volunteer development.
