Community Needs & Focus Areas
We don’t just talk about change – we actively work to make it a reality. Whether it’s addressing immediate needs or working towards long-term systemic change, we’re committed to building a community we can all be proud of.
We Are A Growth Engine
Rather than focus solely on the creation of new nonprofits that may duplicate effort, we help build the capacity of existing nonprofits.
We Are A Convener
We Are A Catalyst
In addition to identifying problems and related solutions, TCN finds the resources that partners need to turn ideas into action.

How Can We Assist?

For Our Community:
Community Projects & Focus Areas
TCN Committees
TriCounty Community Network’s most important community contribution are the tireless problem solving of the organization’s committees. TCN committees are comprised of nonprofit organizations, businesses and individuals that have interest in a specific community issue. Most of TCN’s committee meetings are held immediately following the organizations general monthly meeting, providing a convenient way for members and meeting attendees to get involved in committee work. Committee work requires a commitment of about 1-3 hours per month for 10 months. So, for 13 hours per year you could make a big impact on community needs in our area!
To participate in a TCN committee or for more committee information please email akolpak@tcnetwork.org
