2025 Valley Community Index - Career Resources Celebrates 30 - Call before You Dig / 8-1-1 Day

The Valley Council for Health and Human Services and its community partners just released the 2025 Valley Community Index - a powerful tool used by nonprofits, municipalities, funders, and residents to better understand the needs and strengths of the Lower Naugatuck Valley. Why is this report so critical to help everyone understand and respond to the Valley's biggest challenges? Stay tuned and we'll bring in one of the report's co-authors to explain!

Then we'll get reacquainted with a powerful nonprofit workforce development agency - since 1995, Career Resources has been a transformative leader in workforce development, empowering thousands of job seekers across Connecticut with the tools, training, and opportunities they need to build stronger futures. So we're helping kick off their 30th year detailing how they might be of service to you - and how to participate in Career Resources' special “$30K for 30” fundraising campaign.

And we'll close replaying a segment from earlier this year with our partners at Call Before You Dig. August 11th (8/11) serves as a natural reminder for residents and contractors to contact Call Before You Dig, Inc. (CBYD) before starting any digging projects. So it's appropriate we encore a great conversation we brought you back in April at the beginning of Call Before You Dig Month.
