Did you know that as of 2025, there are over 1.8 million nonprofits in the United States alone? That’s a whole lot of people dedicated to making a difference! But what sets HumanKind apart is our adoption of a wraparound approach: getting to the heart of community issues and offering solutions that are as multifaceted as the problems themselves.
Real change is a group effort.
So, let’s dive in and explore how this approach is evolving community service nonprofits, what it looks like at HumanKind’s Ways to Work, and why it might just be a strategy to serve with impact when unexpected circumstances happen.
The Wraparound Approach
“We’re helping them to build credit, while going through the journey of… buying a vehicle,” – Teresa Davis, Ways to Work Program Manager.
As we’ve seen, the wraparound approach is more than just a buzzword. It’s a powerful tool that’s transforming the way we tackle community issues. It’s about understanding that problems are complex and interconnected, and that solutions need to be as well.
In our Ways to Work community, we’ve seen firsthand the impact: individuals build credit, keep their cars, and embark on a financial journey that’s empowering and sustainable. We’ve seen communities come together, supporting each other in ways that create lasting change.
But we can’t do it alone. Change, as they say, is a group effort. And that’s where you come in.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether it’s by volunteering your time, donating to our cause, signing up for our newsletter or simply spreading the word about our work, your support is invaluable. Together, we can continue to make a difference, one wraparound service at a time.
So, are you ready to be a part of the change? Join us at the 2025 HumanKind Golf Challenge and let’s make a difference together!
