Task Forces

Many of the programs currently offered by our organization are created and carried out through our task forces. We collected data from various surveys including the Illinois Youth Survey to determine our focus areas which are:

  • Community Wellness
  • Literacy
  • Substance Abuse Prevention
  • Zion-Benton Leadership Academy

Members of each group are individuals just like you with a passion for community action.  Our dedicated volunteers believe in our vision of creating “A Community Without Barriers.” Click on the task force tab above to learn more about each of these groups and how you can get involved.
