Hi, We're The Service Collaborative of WNY!
We're excited to share our story with you.
We're excited to begin sharing monthly blog posts with you that will tell stories of service. To start, we figured that we would share more about who The Service Collaborative of WNY is, what we do, and some of the history behind our programs and service experiences. We're excited that you're along for the ride!
The Service Collaborative of WNY partners with other nonprofits to create service opportunities for dedicated individuals. These opportunities focus on education, environmental conservation, or youth workforce development. All of our programs strive to move Buffalo and Western New York towards an equitable future while engaging members of our community in impactful service. We've been doing this work for over 20 years- take a look at the timeline below to see how we got to where we are today!
