social outreach
Connecting with communities
Social outreach is effort by organizations or individuals to engage communities, especially underserved populations, with services, information, or support.
Churches conduct outreach to the homeless, companies do outreach to minority communities, and nonprofits run outreach programs for at-risk youth.
