The Beaufort County Human Services Alliance is a partnership of more than 120 nonprofit, public and private agencies, organizations and community members. The Alliance was created in 2003 by a Leadership Council composed of local leaders representing a diverse range of human service organizations throughout Beaufort County.

Together for Beaufort County (T4BC) is one component of the Alliance and consists of 16 coalitions from a myriad of community partnerships. Together, we pool resources and address community needs and concerns around issues of economy, education, poverty, and health/ environment throughout Beaufort County (see T4BC Coalitions to the right). For more details, you can view the Together for Beaufort County Interim Report (a 2012 Report is in the making) by clicking on the link to the right. There is so much going on in our community, and people can easily get involved as little or as much as they’d like. Please contact us for information on how.
