Peer Networks

Together SC’s Peer Networks are designed to address the individual needs and build the capacity of the staff within our member organizations.

These groups are organized around specific topic areas and offer members access to timely professional development opportunities and an expanded network of professional colleagues across South Carolina.

Current Peer Networks:

Executive Directors & CEOs

Join our Peer Network Listserv Group limited to and for Executive Directors and CEOs. If you are an ED/CEO, simply log in and join the list. If you have difficulty accessing the sign-up form, contact Together SC Staff.

Advocacy Allies 

This peer network is for those engaged in public policy issues, active in advocating/lobbying at the state, federal, and local levels. 

Black Nonprofit Leaders Group

This peer network engages those working or volunteering in the nonprofit sector who are Black, of African descent or of color.

Consultant Collaborative 

A membership category and a peer network for entrepreneurs and firms who provide services primarily to nonprofit organizations.

Development Peer Network

For the staff "making the asks", writing the grants, and finding the resources to keep the mission going.

Equity Peer Network 

This peer network is for those interested in making equity a priority in their organizations.

Marketing & Communications Peer Network 

This peer network focuses on nonprofit communications efforts and marketing.

Operations Peer Network 

For the "in the weeds" staff, the detail-oriented folks who implement the visionaries' visions and keep the machine well-oiled. 

Volunteer Admin Alliance

Building upon the work of the former SC Assoc. for Volunteer Administration (SCAVA), this peer network engages nonprofit professionals responsible for recruiting and managing volunteers.

How Do I Join a Peer Network Discussion Group?
