Community Service
Team Up helps local organizations find “people power” through AmeriCorps placement to strengthen existing programs or create new ones. We also connect willing and skilled volunteers with the organizations that need them through connectswco.org.
-

Community Support
We help other nonprofits gain access to funding through grants, donation management, and fiscal sponsorships.
Team Up connects local individuals and families with important resources in times of crisis.
-

Community Collaboration
We bring together organizations, government entities, school districts, and individuals to develop collaborative solutions for community-identified needs that impact children, youth, and families.
