About the Suffolk Community Council
As an umbrella agency
for human service agencies, the Council takes a leadership
role in organizing, training and coordinating groups and individuals
through:
ADVOCACY
on behalf of all Suffolk County residents to respond to identified
and projected needs. This advocacy includes education, training
and public awareness programs as well as advocating for our
member agencies to insure adequate funding to contract agencies.
PLANNING
of sound policies that lead to effective and cost-efficient
human services. Surveys and research are conducted on
issues that impact the non-profit community. Regular
forums are held on new program initiatives involving issues
of health, education and other services.
COORDINATION
- We have our finger on the pulse of the County. We
identify needed services, provide access to existing services
and promote the sharing of information. We aid callers
with problems and offer them appropriate referrals for help.
