Social Capital Inc.

Social Capital Inc., known as SCI, is a Woburn nonprofit that strengthens communities by connecting people and organizations through civic engagement. The name refers to the value of social networks and the trust built in relationships, and the group’s work aims to raise that kind of capital for both individuals and whole communities. Its programs focus on youth leadership, volunteering, and bringing together people of different generations and cultures.

David Crowley founded SCI in June 2002 after returning to his hometown of Woburn, and it has responded to community needs, big and small, for two decades. Youth leadership programs give young people relationships, skills, resources and funding to act on community needs they see. SCI also runs an AmeriCorps program whose members serve with SCI and other local nonprofits, expanding volunteer opportunities and leading youth service programs.
