Community Connections

We believe that every person has unique gifts, strengths, and passions. Everyone has something they care about—and something to contribute. Our Community Connections services are designed to help individuals discover and define their own talents and interests while fostering meaningful relationships with others who share similar passions. LCDS supports individuals in finding their path to community engagement, offering opportunities to explore activities and initiatives that reflect their interests.
