With the holidays just around the corner, it’s an important time to consider giving back. In this episode of Transaction Talk, we sit down with David Crowley, founder of Social Capital Inc. (SCI), to explore how small acts of service can make a big impact. With the tagline “cultivating connections,” SCI’s mission is all about building local connections through leadership programs and volunteer opportunities.

SCI also focuses on building leadership skills to organize grassroots initiatives, as well as developing scalable models that can work in diverse neighborhoods. Efforts like these not only tackle immediate challenges but empower local leaders to create lasting change.
