Partnerships & Affairs

The Office of Partnerships and External Affairs is designed to work with community partners including nonprofits, foundations, educational institutions, corporations, health care organizations, DeKalb cities and other potential partners to collaborate on common goals and issues of the DeKalb Human Services Department.
