At JEN COL, we know that building within a community does not in itself equate to community-building. That’s why everywhere we work, we engage in things that matter to local people, from training, employing and partnering with local professionals, charities, training organizations and businesses to fundraising and playing a leadership role in community events.

Here is a sampling of how we’ve recently engaged and connected in communities we serve. There’s a lot more: to see us in action, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn,  Facebook and Twitter, and watch the hashtag #JENCOLsupports
