CIVIC & COMMUNITY - YOUTH INITIATIVE


Creating a collaborative human services sector.

A mapping project, beginning with a focus on the youth sector in Greenwood, has been set in motion to identify existing neighborhood programs. This analysis will make it possible to create and implement a plan of action to coordinate services already in place, reduce duplication of services, isolate areas that require new focus and funding, and share the information with the intended audience. Mapped programs will include public, nonprofit and voluntary services, and an indepth look at the resources involved.

"Identification of gaps in service, assisting with the coordination of programs to fill the gaps, identifying the strengths of the various organizations and how each can work with the other to provide the best services within a system of programs are the ultimate results that will be achieved. This promises to have a long-term direct effect on establishing services and positively affecting the futures of the youth of Greenwood County."
