United Way of Northern Nevada and the Sierra

We are proud to partner with Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada to provide community programs to support individuals and families in need across our region. They are our partners in the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) by providing utility & rent/mortgage assistance. In addition to their work with us, Catholic Charities has an incredible range of services. They deserve a Community Partner Spotlight for sure!

Big thank you to our Culture Guide Larry Harvey, SPHR, GPHR for helping our organization! A Culture Guide offers valuable insights on how to unite teams and establish a clear cultural vision for team members. Once that culture is defined, they develop a tailored plan to help build and nurture the environment the team aims to achieve. Here is the UWNNS team going over our collective Emergenetics International results with the goal of taking our team to new heights. #TeamWorkshops #Emergenetics #ProfessionalDevelopment
