Team Community Connect evolved out of a need in the community for direction and focus on the business processes of nonprofit organizations. The team compiles information from various resources such as guest speakers, internet Web sites and literature to use in our “tool box” of community resources. Community Connect consults with agencies over the course of a year about how to improve, where to improve, and the results or impact of their improvements based on the team's suggestions.
 Junior League members share their skills and expertise by helping different community agencies promote their programs and mission through services including strategic planning, board development, volunteer management, marketing, fundraising and program-expansion expertise.
Community Connect has helped many people connect with nonprofit agencies as volunteers. It has also helped to increase awareness for board development processes and procedures in the community. The team does this through community presentations, seminars and panel discussions on a broad range of topics that organizations can tailor to their specific needs. The goal is to help an organization be successful, and the team achieves that goal by obtaining a thorough understanding and knowledge of a targeted area of improvement. Community Connect also guides the organization in implementing its suggestions, which typically results in success for the agency and an even greater success for the community.
