Consultant
Network
: The CORC maintains a network of volunteer consultants with a variety of specialties (finance, legal, accounting, marketing, management, etc.) who have agreed to share their expertise with community organizations.  There are two avenues of consulting available to CORC visitors:

Volunteer Consultant Network:  The Volunteer Consultant Network is a network of individual volunteers who have agreed to be available for consultations with individual organizations.  Based on the responses of the needs assessment completed by each organization, a consulting request is posted in the Volunteer Consultant Network email newsletter.  If a particular Volunteer Consultant is interested in offering their assistance to an organization listed in the newsletter, he or she can: forward information to the CORC Advisor to pass along to the organization, contact the CORC Advisor to schedule a consultation meeting with the organization, or contact the organization directly to schedule an individual consultation

Round Table: The CORC Round Table is comprised of a core group of volunteer consultants with expertise in a variety of areas of interest to community organizations (i.e., accounting, management, fundraising, grant writing, public relations, marketing, volunteer recruitment, etc.) who agree to meet once a month with CORC Advisors to review community organization information presented on a case by case basis.  Each organization is discussed in turn and the CORC Round Table provides recommendations, direction, referrals and advice to the CORC Advisor to be passed along to the organization seeking assistance.  The CORC Advisor then meets with the community organization to share the results of the Round Table session.

Grant writers
: When available, the CORC Advisor will tap the Volunteer Network to locate community members with grant writing expertise who will work directly with organizations who need someone to guide them through the process of creating a grant proposal or to review an existing proposal and make recommendations for changes and modifications.  The purpose of CORC Grant Writers is to teach organizations how to write effective grant proposals, not to provide a grant-writing service

Workshops
:
The CORC will host workshops conducted by volunteers and invited guest speakers who have expertise in areas of interest to community organizations. The workshops will provide the opportunity for organizations to not only acquire information from a knowledgeable source, but also share ideas and experiences with other organizations in a cooperative environment which enhances the learning process and provides a beneficial experience for all participants involved
