Community Service Organization (CSO)

A Community Service Organization (CSO) is a group or nonprofit that focuses on improving the welfare of a specific community or population. These organizations typically provide services such as education, health care, housing assistance, and support for marginalized groups. CSOs often rely on volunteers and donations to carry out their programs, which aim to address local issues, promote community involvement, and foster social change. Examples include food banks, youth mentoring programs, and advocacy groups. Their goal is to enhance the quality of life and empower individuals within the community.
