Carbon Collaborative Human Services Scholarship

The Carbon Collaborative, originally founded in 2010 as the Interagency and Family Collaborative Board (IFCB), creates a community-wide approach to address health and human services issues.

The Collaborative consists of 100+ Carbon County social service organizations and nornprofit partners whose representatives meet as a group five times per year. This interagency committee identifies gaps, barriers, and opportunities and prioritizes care, education, services, and resources. Subcommittees and initiatives have been formed to build capacity, such as transportation, literacy, early childhood education, and prevention efforts.
