Help low and moderate income families in Lake & Mendocino Counties maximize their tax refunds this tax season. We are looking for volunteers to be Site Coordinators, Tax Preparers, Interpreters and Outreach for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. Training begins January 2023!

The volunteer-based service sends those 55 and older to help in local school classrooms as tutors and one-on-one mentors.

NCO Redwood Caregiver Resource Center (RCRC) supports family caregivers by addressing their mental, physical, financial, and emotional well-being as they navigate one of the most challenging tasks they may ever shoulder-- helping loved ones in decline live the best lives they can.

More than 40 Lake County residents applied for this season's "earn-and-learn" paid constrution training with NCO BUILD. These six young men were selected because they demonstrated a true need, high motivation, and clear goals to step into leadership roles in Lake County.

The Community Economic Resilience Fund (CERF) was created to promote a sustainable and equitable recovery from the economic distress of COVID-19. CERF will focus on innovative plans to diversify local economies and develop sustainable climate-friendly industries that create family-sustaining and accessible jobs throughout Mendocino, Humboldt, Del Norte and Lake Counties.
