About Us

Behind The Community is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that aims to inspire social change within the Quad Cities area through community outreach, education programs, and advocating for volunteering for charitable causes.

We strive to strengthen our local community by uniting for meaningful experiences and emphasizing the value of selflessness, generosity, and making a positive impact. The core vision revolves around empowering individuals to encourage one another through selfless service.

By helping people understand the difference they can make in others’ lives, we believe that our mission of compassion, encouragement, and action will create hope, joy, and prosperity.

How We Got Started

Amanda has been volunteering for the community from a very early age. From Iowa to Illinois to Texas to Colorado and back to Illinois again - Amanda has always been a helper in the community. She knows about the challenges to feel included when you're new in town, and she wants to make others feel included and welcome in their own neighborhood. Selfless service is how we aim to create a positive impact on the Quad Cities Community. Find out more by connecting today!
