Membership Advantages

  • Regional service delivery works! Working with educators, legislators, business/government partners, we provide cost-effective and high quality services to schools, cities, counties, and other governmental agencies. Creativity and innovation, coupled with our stalwart tried and true programs, provide a solid foundation of support for our members.
     
    We aim to assure that students in rural districts have access to educational opportunities that students in larger districts experience. By working together with SWWC to pool money and staff, members gain needed service--allowing small, rural districts to maximize resources, bringing equal opportunities to all students.
     
    Membership is a prerequisite to accessing SWWC programs and services.
