Community Resource Lists

In preparation for Community Outreach activities or events, we research the existing community resources that relate to the topic.  This information is then compiled into Community Resource Lists that are offered to non-profit or volunteer-driven groups who may use them for:

    • Inviting participation in activities
    • Consulting on similar interests, ideas, or concerns
    • Community education
    • Community-building tools

These lists are not intended for solicitation purposes.  Each Resource List or Handout is listed under the event topic they were created for.
