Who We Are
The Office of Community Partnerships (OCP) provides services that keep Montgomery County's residents informed about programs and issues. We provide outreach and liaison services to ethnic, multilingual, and multicultural communities and respond to residents' inquiries. We also coordinate a number of community events throughout the year and publish the monthly Partnerships E-newsletter and weekly Partnerships E-bulletin. Our Volunteer Center provides resources for individuals, groups, and businesses to conduct community-service activities in Montgomery County.
Events coordinated and partnered with OCP include the World of Montgomery Festival and the Unity Walk & Resource Fair in October, as well as many other events throughout the year.
